LONDON: England test captain Joe Root is keen to play international cricket this summer but not by compromising on quality of the game or its intensity, the 29-year-old has said.
"The game itself, the intensity it is played at - if you can't play test cricket at its absolute best we shouldn't play it. It's not a fair reflection of the sport." Root, like any professional cricketer, longed for international cricket but stressed public health was paramount."The guys are all missing playing and desperate to get back out there but safety is paramount for everyone involved. As soon as that is compromised, this can't happen," he said.
Fast bowler Mark Wood said most players were fine with the idea after their chat with director of cricket Ashley Giles and the chief medical officer Nick Pierce.
