India A tour of England postponed

MUMBAI: India A's tour of England, which was scheduled for this summer, has been postponed due to the COVID-19 restrictions, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Tuesday.

India A were scheduled to face England Lions as well as play warm up games against their own national side, who are set to go head-to-head with England in a five-Test series across August and September.

Instead, Virat Kohli's men will now travel with a larger squad and prepare for the Test series with two intra-squad four-day matches.

The ECB said the decision to tweak the calendar was made to deliver "the safest possible environment" for the international matches scheduled over the English summer. Agencies
