The Beginning Of The End For Test Cricket: Steve Harmison On Cancelled Fifth Test

By IANS News September 11, 2021 • 16:32 PM View: 856

Former England pacer Steve Harmison fears that the cancellation of the final Test between England and India could be 'the beginning of the end for Test cricket'. He also believes that the upcoming second leg of the IPL in UAE played a part in the cancellation.

The fifth Test was called off just hours before it was due to begin due to Covid-19 outbreak concerns in the Indian team after the second physiotherapist tested positive. "Due to fears of a further increase in the number of Covid cases inside the camp, India are regrettably unable to field a team," read the statement from ECB on Friday.
