Remaining India-England T20 games go behind closed doors due to COVID-19 pandemic

Dubai: England’s remaining three Twenty20 internationals against India will be played behind closed doors because of a surge in coronavirus cases, authorities said on Monday.

The Gujarat Cricket Association said the games on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday would be in an empty Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad — the world’s biggest stadium with a 110,000 capacity. All five games are being played in Ahmedabad. The series is so far level 1-1.

COVID-19 cases have surged in many major cities in India in the past two weeks.
