Hosting matches is the UK’s right decision or wrong

Nowadays, many countries still under the lockdown but then also England’s government given permission to host cricket matches. However, they had applied the terms and conditions for hosting matches.

Additionally, they restricted to play the matches under Biosecure Bubble. It means they had to take the safety measures of players, coaches, and other team management. It also includes the testing after some periods for the players & all other management.

Along with testing other measures like daily temperature check-ups also included in that. Meanwhile, English bowler Mark wood claimed that bio-secure bubble training was weird and explained it was like the experience of a sci-fi movie.

Henceforth to watch these matches they had differentiated into some sections of testing & green zone. Therefore in the green zone, a small amount of gathering is allowed but under the Covid19 rules of social distancing. Also, these rules are followed all over the player’s dressing room & hotels.
