While cricket experts and pundits are empathetic with India's decision to call off the final Test match of the England-India series that was set to be played at Old Trafford, former England cricketer Paul Newman thinks otherwise. He criticised the IPL, Indian cricketers, as well as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) even after the match, was called off due reportedly due to COVID-19 scare. Notably, Indian physio Yogesh Parmar had tested positive for COVID-19 on the eve of the final Test and even though all the Indian players tested negative for the infection, there was a genuine fear among the players of contracting the infection. It is said that the few Indian players were uncomfortable in taking the field and the match had to be cancelled.
