ENG vs IND: Barmy Army shows frustration says, ‘If IPL won’t be there, We’ll have the fifth Test Match’
ENG vs IND: The cancellation of the fifth Test match between India and England has been termed as disappointing for all the fans. The fifth Test match was to be played between India and England at Old Trafford.
But it was canceled after corona cases surfaced in the Indian camp. After the cancellation of this test, the Barmy Army has made serious allegations against Team India.
Barmy Amry Head:
Chris Mallard, managing director of the Barmy Army, said, “To be honest, I’m absolutely furious. I was just arriving at Old Trafford when the news came just after 8 a.m., and at the way it all happened.
ECB have now confirmed that the 5th Test has been cancelled.
India have forfeited the match as they can’t field a team due to COVID concerns.#ENGvIND

I tremble with anger. Not only for the fans who were supposed to be here, but there are a lot of small businesses that get affected by this.”
Speaking further, Mallard said, “With the IPL, there is no doubt that if it was not for the IPL, this match would have been played. Indian players prefer to play in IPL to protect their IPL contracts and commercial contracts. Yes, he is very big, we have to respect him, but to be honest, he had to finish this match. It is shocking that they were allowed to pull the plug.”
