Coronavirus impact: Joe Root expecting talks over pay cut, bracing for huge workload once normalcy resumes
India TV NewsEngland Test captain Joe Root expects his country's cricket board and the player's body to discuss a possible pay cut for him and his teammates "in the coming weeks" as the ECB faces the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. With all professional cricket coming to a halt till May 28 in the UK and more delays expected, speculation is rife that the England and Wales Cricket Board is mulling pay cuts for its centrally-contracted players like Root and Jos Buttler. "It would be a very tough winter, a huge amount of workload, especially on the multi-format players, but we have had some tough winters in the past and found ways to get through them." "You spend a long time working towards something collectively and that's something you can take for granted, especially when you play as much as we do.
