The England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed a further delay to the start of the professional domestic cricket season, with no domestic cricket to be played before August 1st.
Meanwhile, five of Delray Rawlins Sussex teammates have been asked by the ECB to return to training, as England Men prepare for the prospect of behind-closed-doors cricket, subject to UK Government clearance.
Jofra Archer and Ollie Robinson have spent the last 10 days training in isolation at The 1st Central County Ground, and will now be joined over the coming days by Chris Jordan, Laurie Evans and Phil Salt.
ECB Performance Director, Mo Bobat said, “It’s really pleasing to be in a position to have players returning to training and a huge amount of work has been done by many to get us this far.
"The pool of players will give selectors strong options when it comes to selecting squads across formats further down the line, as we move closer to our aim of playing international cricket this summer.”
“We will need to continue to work closely with our medical team and government to ensure that our return to training and play activities are in line with best-practice guidelines.
"We’re also really grateful for the positive and collaborative response from our county colleagues who are doing a great job at facilitating coaching and support for the players.
"The fact that we can call on our network to support the national effort shows the strength of our system.”
The ECB continues to work closely with its county partners to provide a safe and efficient return to practice for players, and is grateful for the support of the counties in assisting with the coaching provision across this period.
