Zaheer Abbas believes the game of cricket will never be the same again post COVID-19 as the sport is likely to see more restrictions imposed due to the pandemic.
“Of course, it will not be the same. But they should go and play because it will at least be good for their fitness and there will be some action,” Abbas was quoted as saying by Sportstar.
“They (Players) have been away from the game for a while, so how they will fare – is something that will be on their mind. Even if they play in empty grounds, they will be fully prepared (mentally). They also know that is just happening for the time being, and there will soon be a time when the fans will be back in the stands,” he said.
In a bid to keep the players motivated, some of the associations – including the Pakistan Cricket Board – have been organising online sessions with former cricketers and Abbas calls it a welcome move.
