You'd imagine the players are going to be rigorously tested throughout the series, and all the science suggests that outdoor transmission is only really a concern for those packed together in large crowds or individuals standing face to face. They've already decreed no spit-shining the ball, too.

They would have to be tested rigorously. I hate the spit-shining ball in general.

Shame that. I miss cricket, not played in years, I'm a better bowler than a batsman.

I read about that.
3 teams of 8 players, 36 over match which is played over 2 halves with 18 overs a half. Each team bats and bowls for 12 overs a match. It sounds so confusing and makes no sense.
