Bairstow did not stand the chance of being highly rewarded, however, ‘doors not closed’

Jonny Bairstow did not make it happen to become part of England’s 13-man squad, however, all chances did not close on him to take part in the Test cricket. Chief selector Ed Smith confirmed that it is the most suitable choice for the 30-year-old to make his presence in the white-ball bio-bubble during this cricket season unlike any other cricket players.

Smith admitted that it was quite rare and not normal for any squads to pick their players during the outbreak of this pandemic. This is also the reason why a lot of first-class cricket players were absent from the list as they had to bear a lot of other things apart from just simply competing in their minds. “That also meant that there would be a greater reward for players who performed well in England’s 3-1 series victory in South Africa. Jos Buttler, who is the “man in possession” of the ‘keeping gloves and to whom England extend “full support, is also one of them.”

“No one doubts he’s a very good cricketer across formats for England. No doors are closed for Jonny,” Smith shared his viewpoint. He said that the organizers all know the ability as well as what they can do in Test cricket, as well as considered how talented he is in all forms of the game. It’s also the case that we are where we were. As the Covid-19 has been getting worse and caused a lot of cancellation for cricket world, Jos Buttler would the man in possession – still is the man in possession. They will continue giving their full support as England’s ‘keeper-batsman. Ben Foakes is now the deputy on the Sri Lanka tour.

Bairstow, who is a player of a 30-man cricket training group in Southampton, revealed to have his reb-ball stocks on display recently.

Pakistan cricket team prepare to fly to England without the presence of 10 Covid-positive players

It came as the worsrt news when there are 10 Pakistan cricket players were tested positive for Covid-19. They will not be on the list of players who will make flight to compete on Manchester on this Sunday. The other 18 players who were tested negative for the pandemic with the staff and assisstants team who were all tested carefully will be allowed on the flight and board the charter plane set up by the ECB. All of them were tested second times and all the results have been published by the PCB on Saturday.

The news was confirmed after the recent annoucement of ECB in a press, stated that members of the Pakistan travelling party being tested positive would “not be allowed to be on board with the advance group”. Though the annoucement did not clearly give detailed information, however, the word “advance group” were utilized, implied certain changes on the formation in comparison to the initiative one being unfolded on the 28th of June. May be these players will need to return 2 negative tests to be qualified enough for the flight.

This appears to be not suitable for the whole PCB if they decided to give permision to all 28 players in the squad to be on the same flight, after they were known to be considering dropping the requirement of two negative tests before the permission to depart for England was granted.

That would still be dangerous when there are 10 Pakistan players and one member of the support staff returning being infected to Covid-19 earlier this week, all of them did not have any clear systoms of the pandemic before hand. They were tested for a second time on Friday, and if the results turn out to be negative, they would have the chance to travel with the other 18 players iof the squad again. However, if the results remain unchanged, the PCB will back to the original schedule, which means those ten players will be tested for the third time on June 29, and make a commercial flight to England later on once they have provided two negative tests.

ROSTON CHASE: ”ALWAYS WANTED TO SCORE A CENTURY IN ENGLAND”

Still suffering from injury, however, Roston Chase will soon compete with Jofra Archer for the on-the-way 3 Test series between England and West Indies. It will not, by the way, be the first time that these 2 cricketers appeared to be the competitors of each other in England.

Five years ago, Chase and Archer both took part in a club cricket within the Sussex Premier League. Chase, at that time was playing for Cuckfield, had already succeeded in playing for the first-class cricket of Barbados and also a couple of months earlier had just earned two half-centuries for the West Indies Board President’s XI, defeated Michael Clarke’s Australia in a tour match in Antigua.

Archer, who is 3 years younger than Chase, at that time was playing for Middleton-on-Sea, still on it’s way to make his first-class debut for Sussex when they met for a one-day game in July 2015 at Middleton’s Sea Lane ground. “I do remember the game we played against Jofra,” Chase said. “He got five wickets, he got me out.”

Taking the new ball, Archer reduced Cuckfield, who had won the toss and decided to bat, to five for eight, an opening burst which included pinning Chase LBW first ball. After six overs, however, Archer pulled up injured. “Things became so much easier for us,” Chase said. “We ended up getting a big total and we ended up winning the game quite easily.

“I knew Jofra [already]. I did play against him in the league in Barbados. He was quite young though, playing for the Barbados youth combined schools team. He was always a good talent but he was not always that fast. He had some pace but he wasn’t as rapid as he is now.”

Chase scored four half-centuries in 14 matches for Cuckfield but only averaged in the mid-20s with the bat. Nevertheless, he credits his spell in Sussex with toughening him up.
