International cricket finally resumes after 116 days on Wednesday amid the coronavirus outbreak scare all across the globe as England lock horns with West Indies in a three-match Test series.

Due to the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus, there has been no cricketing action since March with players practising safe distancing norms.

This will also be the first time in the 143-year history of Test cricket that a match will be played without spectators.

International cricket will be returning after four months where the first Test will be played on Wednesday at the Aegis Bowl Stadium in Southampton between England and West Indies from Wednesday (July 8).

While the game is resuming, players will have to follow the rules of social distancing. Many old rules will also change with this match.

Before the pandemic, a match between Australia and New Zealand was played on March 13 in Sydney.
