England and Wales Cricket Board’s Tom Harrison announced that ECB decided to postpone all kinds of cricketing event until at least July 1 due to coronavirus pandemic.

Harrison said that they are planning on rescheduling the international fixtures as soon as the governments permit them to do.

"There will be no cricket unless it's safe to play," said Harrison. "Our schedule will only go ahead if government guidance permits.

"Our biggest challenge, along with other sports, is how we could seek to implement a bio-secure solution that offers optimum safety and security for all concerned."

Nine rounds of fixtures will be lost in the four-day county championship season, but time slots for red-ball and white-ball cricket will remain in a revised schedule.

The rescheduling international fixtures in the period from July until the end of September, will include the West Indies Test tour of England, followed by visits from Australia, Pakistan and Ireland. The women's series against India, including one-day internationals and Twenty20 matches, will also be moved.
