Chief executive Harrison: ‘Our protocols are designed to cope’The Hundred starts on 21 July with women’s competitionTom Harrison, the ECB chief executive, has given up trying to pre-empt the next Covid crisis in
Cricket but said the Hundred – and the Royal
London Cup – will forge ahead despite the pandemic threatening to derail teams and force possible abandonments.
English cricket continues to operate on the knife-edge described by the men’s director, Ashley Giles, last week. Government protocols on track and trace will not change for those who are double-vaccinated until 16 August, with county sides being badly damaged as a result and
England last week forced to select an entirely new squad for the
Pakistan one-day series that finished on Tuesday.
