Cricket News: ECB awaits UK government's clearance for test series vs WI

England will play three Tests in the space of 21 days when the international summer gets underway in July. The ECB wants the series to take place behind closed doors, but conceded that it is subject to the UK government clearance. West Indies arrive on 9 June and will be based at Old Trafford for initial quarantine and training.The original schedule, which featured Tests at The Kia Oval, Edgbaston and Lord's between 4-29 June, was postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic. Edgbaston, in Birmingham, has been selected as a contingency venue and will be used to stage additional training throughout July. There will be no spectators and everybody who is closely involved in the matches will be housed in the on-site hotels that have made this series possible. There will be regular testing and quarantine zones for anyone suspected of having contracted Covid-19.
