The increasing number of COVID-19 in India is a matter of concern. India is at the second spot when it comes to COVID tally worldwide. Even in this havoc situation, BCCI president, Sourav Ganguly has reiterated the board’s priority of hosting the England series in India next year.
Earlier there were speculations that BCCI could shift England’s tour to Sri Lanka or UAE but Sourav Ganguly had now made it clear BCCI’s first priority will always be to host the entire tour in India. The entire IPL is being played in UAE under the closed-doors without spectators.
“The priority is to make this (series against England) happen in India,” Ganguly said. “We will try to make this happen on Indian grounds. The advantage in the UAE is they have three stadiums (Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Dubai).”
When asked about the pause in the Indian domestic cirucuit, Sourav stated that “We are monitoring it,” Ganguly said. “We want to have our domestic season. We have all the combinations, situations ready in our minds. We will try and make it happen as much as we can.”
“Everything is fluid. It’s been hard for the last six months to keep everything in order. You want your cricket to happen. You want lives to get back to normal, there are players involved. But you also want to have a close look at the COVID situation,” he added.
