Both Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and England Cricket Board (ECB) have rejected the idea of arranging a series in another country due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis.

According to the reports, the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) had offered to host the Pakistan-England Test series as the island nation has a controlled situation in terms of the pandemic.

Earlier, England’s limited-overs captain, Eoin Morgan, had said that they are open to the idea of playing Tests and other formats simultaneously, meaning that the hosts can play two series – Pakistan or West Indies and Australia – at one time.
