India vs England: ODI Series To Be Played Behind Closed Doors In Pune Due To Spike In COVID Cases

Highlights
No spectators will be allowed at the games due to spike in COVID-19 cases
The three ODIs will be played on March 23, 26 and 28
The Maharashtra government on Saturday green lighted the three scheduled ODIs between India and England in Pune without allowing any spectators in the wake of huge spike in COVID-19 cases in the state. There was some doubts that three ODIs will be shifted elsewhere but after a meeting between CM Uddhav Thackeray and Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) president Vikas Kakatkar, the permission for the games were obtained. "Keeping the seriousness of the current spike in COVID cases in Maharashtra, after inputs from the Hon'ble Chief Minister, it was decided that permission will be granted for these matches without spectators," the Maharashtra Cricket Association said in a media release.
