In converse situation BCCI wouldn't bully the English players/board or extort a forfeit. We wouldn't care about results, we'd actually have some concern and empathy for the affected squad members. When WI players had a full blown contract related war against their board in 2014, BCCI actually stood for the WI players and allowed them to leave with no bad blood. No strings pulled, no emotional blackmail. In a crisis like this basic human decency entails showing support to the players caught in the mess.

If all the players tested negative , there was no reason not to play. Just like they did at the oval..
It's evident that the players don't want to risk getting somehow infected during the course of the match and mi$$ the IPL which is 10 days away.
Greedy bunch of clowns!!

The IPL is important may not be for some of us but for BCCI and from financial perspective it is extremely important and I don't think BCCI wants to get into a situation where you start the IPL and immediately start hearing news of people testing positive. That will be a disaster.
It is how it is, like it or not. Personally I'm disappointed not to see a good cricket match.

If the reports are true that BCCI avoided this match to ensure the team travels safely to UAE for IPL then its pure disgust. Its a money greedy move which would now harm relations between big 3. Had anyone else other than Big 3 been on receiving end no one would even bat eyelids but its ECB who are stabbed in the back there is noise around this news

What affected squad members? All Indian players passed a PCR test last night.
This is not about player welfare, it’s about big money back home.

If they are not playing due to IPL then of course India should forfeit.
However we don't know all the facts yet and I'm sure both boards have been negotiating an amicable settlement. If the ECB does cave in then I'm afraid the end of test cricket is closer then what we figuratively thought.

Can you pls stop your sly digs at this crucial juncture? Everyone including you know that India were a better team this series. Shane Warne said on SKY that India is the best test team in the world at present after what they have done in Sydney, Brisbane and Oval.
Most Indians are angry with players reluctant to play this test match bcoz they want to prioritize IPL. But that dosent change the fact that India played brilliant test cricket and this was the best test series in England since 2005 Ashes.
I didnt see a single post from you on the match thread for Oval test but not leaving any opportunity to take digs here

No its not I am quoting boria Majumder a reputed journo not some random dude he was amongst the first to break the news regarding match being called off ,the match might be rescheduled around the 3 odis and 3 t20's period when india visit england,so Stop living in ur lala land
Exactly.
And the BCCI has no concept of the revenue from corporate hospitality. This will really mess up ECB finances.
The grounds are full for both India and Pakistan series. But this sends a clear message that the BCCI is untrustworthy.
What does Shane Warne know about cricket?

Lol I remember reading similar posts from you before the Gabba covid drama. We all know how that ended.
Won't be surprised if we come back next year and win the series 3-1. Of course you'd have cry-crawled back to your cave by then but that's a different matter altogether.

India did this to ensure they get their players intact for the IPL with sufficient rest, a week off now. Plus after a two months of cricket in England their bowlers like Bumrah look tired, the opener Sharma is injured.... and now they do not have a physio or doctor. Most of these players after such a long series are literally held together by tablets, injections and duct tape.
A final England-India should play the test again during the bilateral limited overs scheduled next year.
Folk on this thread should calm down as well and stop calling each other names.
Anderson has played 4 tests in a row, Robinson is tired and down on pace, Wood is still not fully mended, apart from Woakes's return; the English bowling unit isn't battle ready either.

Why did England call off the South Africa tour midway last year?
When you lie, at least lie properly. It'll be 4th time in a row, 2011, 2014, 2018 and 2021. However 2021 has been entirely invented by you.
That’s a different year. It’s not the 2021 season.
India ran away to protect the IPL. They surrendered this series.
Call it what you like - everyone knows it’s a forfeit.

Why are you crying now? You and others have always advocated for this:
IPL>>International cricket
It is Indians who deny their 2-1 home defeat by Pakistan in 98-99 by claiming that one match was the Asian Test Championship and didn’t count. And those matches were just a week apart.Lol I remember reading similar posts from you before the Gabba covid drama. We all know how that ended.

They can hardly now claim that a match next year is part of this series.

If the physio and doctor tests positive it wont take long for one of the playing XI to get it as well. There is no lack of physical contact in their trade.

True, Plus even the losing games, England won most sessions only to have a brain fade at crucial moments. It's been one of the most closely fought and entertaining Tests series in recent times. Brilliant cricket all round.
Sincerely hope they put up a fight in Australia. Test cricket needs such rivalries, been too many meek boring surrenders of late.

So you've already backtracked from your "Face it. India have forfeited. You lost" nonsense. Good. One step at a time.
Anything that helps you sleep better at night!
As for boring surrenders, yeah I too hope you guys give a better account of yourself in Australia this time. Last time it was total surrender from your lot.

See I don't agree with that.
Tiredness, fatigue etc are part of the game.
A team has to manage this ...
A one month break is fine but 9 months is unacceptable. It should just be a separate one off test then

Think logically atleast before saying something. Indian physics are affected so you want players to compete without trusted physio to look after. Especially this series where they are going for each other's head.

Your justification for a healthy team pulling out of a contracted international match is colonialism. Ok.
Surely you can accept that BCCI has broken faith with the ECB here.
Now, how does the ECB deal with the financial consequences? If they cannot recover the $$$ losses, will they take legal action against BCCI?
Will this financial loss mean ECB will no longer have a working relationship with BCCI? Or will they shamelessly go back and invite BCCI to tour again after all of this?

Unconfirmed reports say that this Test will be rescheduled in Australia right before the Ashes. Hobart or Canberra likely to be the venues.
Interesting!

What is it with BCCI tours. They are visiting England every year? Looks like they pretty much do the same with Aus.

w00t so we've won a test series in England for the first time since 2007.
Is this official? Also, why is the ICC getting involved? Aren't these tests up to individual boards to schedule and coordinate?
These are money spinner tours so BCCI is making sure that it regularly visits Aus and Eng. Also fans have understood that there is competition within NZ, AUS, IND and ENG playing each other. So we will see these teams often playing each other.

India were desperate to somehow evade that 5th Test
Hobart is going to lose the Afghan Test.
And reportedly India are already en route to the airport. Who’d have thunk it?

Reading more into this it does state Indians players did return negative PCR tests last night, and yet India can't field a full side for the Test?
I don't know something doesn't add up.

There's no space for it, the series is boxed in either side with other tours.
Which means English players (in IPL) are likely with them as well. Wow, what a turn of events.

Agreed under normal circumstances but these are strange times. World test points are in question + the money ECB would lose due to this cancellation, they will look to reschedule this and that one off test would be a MASSIVE spectacle. England fighting for pride and India trying to keep their victory intact, what a brilliant game this will be. The only downer is its in friggin Manchester, the city has a tendency to summon rain at the most crucial moments.
Everyone is high on emotion because of how intensely and closely this series was fought. Some idiots are crying racism here, RIDICULOUS! Imagine if the Aussies did this after a 2-1 lead, the anger among England supporters would be 10 times as much.
Plus England have a lot to lose as well, they are the favourites heading into the T20 world cup. You have Buttler, Woakes, Bairstow, Malan, Moeen.... in this squad. They need to be fit and fine and not get infected before the World cup.

Seems like a fair and reasonable solution would be to box off this series by playing the 5th Test next summer. This could happen at the back end of the India white ball tour. There are ODIs and T20s played throughout July, with the final T20 being on July 31st. The first 17 days of August are then empty in the England diary, ahead of South Africa's arrival. So if India are free then too, we could have the rearranged 5th Test in that window.
Coz its a part of WTC.

England have been treated the same way they treated South Africa recently.
I don't really understand why the decision to cancel the match has been made and I feel sorry for the fans who have bought hotels/train tickets only for this to be cancelled at the last minute.
