SPORT: TTCB Calls Off 2020 Cricket Season

The Executive of the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board has decided to abandon the 2020 domestic cricket season in light of the ongoing issues with the COVID-19 pandemic. The Board, via a Zoom Conference on Wednesday, reached consensus on several aspects of local cricket including the decision to call off the rest of the season. The decisions came after detailed conversations with representatives of the National League, Zones and Affiliates, and with due consideration to the Government's measures to combat the virus. The TTCB also decided that there will be no promotions, demotions or play-offs for the 2020 season. Also taken into account was the current state of grounds which are not prepared to host top-level cricket at this time or in the near future. The Board also called on all other leagues and organisations to end their competitions in the interest of player and fan safety.
