LONDON: Abu Dhabi Cricket (ADC) is likely to contact the England Cricket Board (ECB) for offering its services for use between October and January.
If this indeed happens and the ECB agrees to use the facilities, then Abu Dhabi is likely to emerge as a potential venue for salvaging some cricket in the English season, ESPNCricinfo reported.
The offer may very well extend to both county and international cricket.
The Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, which has lately become the home of Pakistan's international matches, has also hosted the IPL and PSL in the past.
The report indicates that Abu Dhabi Cricket’s offer towards ECB is for county cricket as well as for their proposed international cricket matches at home.
Since the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government recently announced that certain places in Abu Dhabi would soon be re-opening (albeit with guidelines), the Sheikh Zayed Stadium ground is reported to be ready for hosting cricket with all live broadcasting facilities.
It is further believed that Abu Dhabi Cricket governing body will also be approaching other national boards, who are currently struggling with cricket due to lockdown in their respective countries.
