The cricket fans will be finally happy to know that BCCI is likely to allow a 50 per cent crowd capacity in-stadium during the India England series which starts on January 5. The three venues scheduled for the England series are Chennai, Ahmedabad, and Pune. Some of the state associations have planned to allow only 20 -25 per cent crowd capacity at their stadiums.

India will also be the first cricketing nation to allow fans inside the stadium after Australia. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, fans were not allowed inside the stadium to reduce the spreading of the virus. The players have been following protocols to get the game going and they will have to take the tests every three days. It is a tough time for the players out there and the fans will be pleased that they will be allowed to watch a cricket match inside the stadium after a long time.
