After a long wait of 117 days cricket is back to entertain us at Ageas Bowl in Southampton,England.After a long time, cricket is on fire again and obviously both the spectators and the cricketers are happy.Most people are desperate because of the Corona epidemic that is causing lockdowns around the world. It is hoped that entertaining games like cricket will bring smiles to the faces of the people in this day and age.

Ben Stokes is now England's Test Captain in the absence of Joe Root due to his wife's pregnancy .

West Indies players have added a text called Black Lives Matter to their jerseys to mourn the recent death of George Floyd.

ICC new regulations due to Corona pandemic:

COVID-19 Replacements: Teams will be allowed to replace players displaying symptoms of COVID-19 during a Test match. In line with concussion replacements, the Match Referee will approve the nearest like-for-like replacement.

However, the regulation for COVID-19 replacements will not be applicable in ODIs and T20Is. 

Ban on applying saliva to the ball: Players will not be permitted to use saliva to shine the ball. If a player does apply saliva to the ball, the umpires will manage the situation with some leniency during an initial period of adjustment for the players, but subsequent instances will result in the team receiving a warning. 

A team can be issued up to two warnings per innings but repeated use of saliva on the ball will result in a 5-run penalty to the batting side. Whenever saliva is applied to the ball, the umpires will be instructed to clean the ball before play recommences.

Non-neutral umpires: The requirement to appoint neutral match officials will be temporarily removed from the playing conditions for all international formats owing to the current logistical challenges with international travel. The ICC will be able to appoint locally based match officials from the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Officials and the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Officials.

Additional DRS reviews: The CEC has also confirmed an additional unsuccessful DRS review for each team in each innings of a match, keeping in mind that there may be less experienced umpires on duty at times. This will increase the number of unsuccessful appeals per innings for each team to three for Tests and two for the white-ball formats.
