‘We made a strategic choice to try to adapt protocols’: Tom Harrison
Following seven members of their group tested positive for the virus, the England Cricket Board moved rapidly to replace their entire team for the ODI series against Pakistan. The ECB established an additional team for the series, and they won 3-0 against Babar Azam’s team.
The fact of Delta Variant’s inclusion in the England team was disclosed by ECB chief executive Tom Harrison without naming the players. “We have been mindful that the emergence of the Delta variant, along with our move away from the stringent enforcement of biosecure environments could increase the chances of an outbreak”.
“We made a strategic choice to try to adapt protocols, in order to support the overall well-being of our players and management staff who have spent much of the last 14 months living in very restricted conditions,” Harrison had said earlier.
Prior to the Pakistan series, Sri Lanka was the visiting team in England. 2 individuals of the Sri Lankan group screened positive after they arrived from England. The IND vs SL series, on the other hand, will be played with a slight change in the schedule.
