Bio-bubbles and spectators cut this is all we are witnessing the world of sports for last one year. Now after almost a year, England will see a return of full capacity crowd in an international stadium that stadium is nonother than the home of cricket ‘Lords’.
The host England will play the against Pakistan at the Lords cricket ground with 100 % seating capacity. This is also UK government’s Event Research Programme (ERP).
“Birmingham’s Edgbaston Stadium has again been confirmed as part of the Government’s Events Research Programme (ERP) and will operate at 80 per cent capacity for the Royal London International (ODI) between England and Pakistan,” a statement from Warwickshire County Cricket Club had said.
The government had allowed limited capacity in grounds. As many as 17,000 fans attended the first three days of the second Test against New Zealand at Edgbaston last month.
“Taking place on Tuesday 13 July, Edgbaston will be able to accommodate around 19,000 fans, including under 16s, in the stadium bowl and hospitality lounges without social distancing as part of the research study,” it had added.
