India vs England: There was always a cloud hanging over Manchester Test, says Michael Atherton
India Today
Michael Atherton reckons there are multiple reasons for the cancellation of the Manchester Test and IPL 2021 could be one of them.
Former cricketer-turned-broadcaster Michael Atherton feels that the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 could have been one of the reasons why the the fifth and final Test between England and India was cancelled after the visiting camp was hit by Covid-19 on the eve of the match. The second half of IPL 2021 is due to begin from September 19, just four days after the scheduled Manchester Test was due to end. Such a tight schedule was always going to make it difficult for the players to play, travel and adjust to conditions.More Related News
