Jofra Archer says he will do anything to help cricket
It is well known that all the preventative steps for the players’ lives have to be taken by the cricket board and associations. In the absence of fans, they have to arrange matches. Jofra Archer suggested in the same way that in matches, the authorities might conduct crowd simulation to create a realistic look.
“At cricket, we play music. Why can’t we play a simulation of a crowd? We should play the clapping, play the oohs and the aahs and try to make it as believable as possible,” Archer said on the BBC podcast ‘Stumped.’ The 25-year-old also said that he could do anything he could to support cricket until it was at the cost of his life. “All that can support cricket but keep us as safe as possible is what I’m all for. If not all of them are 100% on board, “he added.
It is well known that the ECB postponed ‘The Hundred”s inaugural season to 2021.
