We continued with Premier League and Championship football through our Lockdown. I think it is important in this situation to have something for people to watch to keep their spirits up

There's been more COVID cases world wide in the last 6 weeks than in the entire time before that. What is going on in India (and Brazil) is a lot worse than anything we've seen.

It's a tough call and I know the Indians love their cricket from my business trips there. It's when you see the pictures from New Delhi with the desperate situation and funeral pyres it seems not right that cricket is being played in the same city. I know this has come in for a lot of criticism.

The deaths per 1m population is 159 compared to 1,871 here in the UK. Arguably you could say we have had it worse, though I do admit the stats may be under reported in India

There is absolutely no comparison between UK and India. The population of UK is 66 million. India is around 1.4 billion. Indias recorded deaths from Covid is 219000 but experts estimate the actual number of Covid cases there is HALF A BILLION with only 19.9 million reported. The number of deaths is therefore likely to be nearer 5.5 million. Its a national scandal of biblical proporations.

So much for secure bubble and the UK mercenaries will now be heading back I suspect.
