5 Cricketing habits that could change post Coronavirus pandemic

5. Players sitting close to each other in dug out or dressing room

‘Social Distancing’ has emerged as the crucial aspect during this Coronavirus. The lockdown has been imposed for the same reason in several countries in order to contain the transmission of the COVID-19. And after the cricket resumes, we could see the players maintaining the required distance while sitting besides each other.

Moreover, the dugout could be shelved altogether where the players generally sit together especially during a T20 game. With a lot of time constraints in the trimmed format of the game, the batsmen prefer sitting in the dugout itself to go in the middle after the wicket falls.

Also, in the dressing room, the players could be instructed to sit maintaining the safe distance. Not forever but this might be followed for a few months after the cricketing action resumes later this year.
