The Australian cricketer Marnus Labuschagne is hoping for ‘heaps of cricket’ once the action resumes post COVID-19 outbreak. Also, Marnus is eagerly waiting to be back on the cricket field and going on a lot of cricket tours to make up for the missed time. 

The coronavirus pandemic has halted the sports world from quite some time now. Cricket is one of the sports that is badly affected by the global health crisis. Almost all the upcoming cricketing fixtures are postponed for the indefinite time. 

The abandonment of cricket has also affected the financial conditions of the cricketing bodies across the world. Cricket Australia and the England and Wales cricket board are facing a huge financial crisis. The authorities are planning a schedule to cover up the losses and stabilize the condition of the cricket boards.
