England and West Indies teams are competing in the first Test match but an interesting incident happened at the time of the toss when West Indian captain Jason Holder forgot Corona’s SOPs.
Due to Corona Virus, the first Test between England and West Indies is being played under SOPs. At the time of the toss, West Indian captain Jason Holder forgot the Corona SOPs and extended his hand for a handshake.
When Jason Holder extended his hand, England captain Ben Stokes was careful, he moved his elbow instead of his hand, then both players started smiling, watching this interesting situation on TV, the fans were also very happy.
Before the match, the players and officials of both teams also expressed solidarity with George Floyd, who was killed by the police in Kramerika by kneeling.

It should be noted that this is the first cricket series that is being played in England after the outbreak of the corona virus.
According to the guidelines issued by the ICC, the players in the field will not shake hands with each other, hug or celebrate after taking a wicket as before.
Apart from this, there is also a ban on shining the ball with saliva and the bowlers cannot even hold the umpire’s sweater cap and it will be kept outside the boundary line.
It should be noted that the national cricket team is also in England to play a series of three Tests and three Twenty20 matches against England. The first Test between the two teams will be played on August 5.
