No spectators for Pune ODIs

The Maharashtra government on Saturday green lighted the three scheduled ODIs between India and England here without allowing any spectators in the wake of huge spike in COVID19 cases in the state. There was some doubts that three ODIs will be shifted elsewhere but after a meeting between CM Uddhav Thackeray and MCA president Vikas Kakatkar, the permission for the games were obtained.The cricket body also said that the CM has asked them to take all necessary precautions with regard to players and officials.
