Australian cricket needs to make sacrifices to keep game going: Langer - cricket news

The Hindu  

Head coach Justin Langer feels Australian cricket will need to make some sacrifices, like missing out on star players in international matches, and a few compromises in the domestic competition to keep the game going amid the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve got to make sacrifices to make sure people get to see the Australian cricket team play again,” Langer told reporters in an online conversation. “If we’ve got to have bigger squads because we can’t have guys coming in and out, 12th and 13th men playing Shield cricket which is unlikely to happen, that will take some of our best players out of our domestic competition,” Langer said. “We’ll keep an eye on how the boys are travelling with the England tour then, the IPL, the quarantine then the summer kicking off,” Langer said.
