What a difference a year can make in cricket

arabnews.com

As the year closes, it is possible to discern certain themes of the last twelve months that will continue in cricket for the next.

First, is COVID-19. It delayed the 2020 T20 World Cup until Nov. 2021, as well as forcing its move from India to the UAE and Oman.

At the same time, it disrupted England’s Ashes tour to Australia. A Test scheduled for Perth in January was switched to Tasmania at short notice because of border restrictions in Western Australia.

All of this seems a long time ago. Since then, England won the T20 World Cup and nine of its last 10 Tests. Elsewhere, COVID-19’s effects can be seen in other tournaments still awaiting completion.
