I Don’t See Cricket Being Played For At Least A Year – Shoaib Akhtar

The cricket industry has suffered considerable damage due to the spread of coronavirus. All preliminary series and tournaments have postponed indefinitely. Moreover, the chances of cricket returning to normal soon are very narrow. Meanwhile, Shoaib Akhtar has also opened up about the same and said that he would not see cricket for at least a year as far as the current situation is concerned.

COVID-19 threats are shaken the whole world and every industry. Everything from the IPL to the Olympics had to deal with the postponement. Instead of improving every day, the situation is getting worse. In the meantime, the death toll is growing at a much higher rate. This has forced governments to declare lockdown in those countries. And, it indirectly means that there is no cricket and the fans have no sports.

Shoaib Akhtar feels it is a troublesome situation for everyone

Speaking on this, Shoaib Akhtar said there was no right time for things to return to normal. According to him, COVID-19 cannot stop until it is known how many people are infected. He said he could not see the revival of cricket for nearly a year due to the novel virus that has taken over 1 lakh lives worldwide. Reading the 44-year-old said it was a difficult time for every person in the world. But everyone should come back strong.

“If you ask me honestly, I don’t know how long the coronavirus outbreak will last. If you don’t know how many people are infected, you can’t go anywhere with any cricket,” Akhtar said in a video posted on his YouTube channel.

I have not seen cricket played for at least a year due to coronavirus. I know the virus bothering us for a year. These are troublesome times, and I hope we get out of this strongly, ”he added.
