The threat of Coronavirus has started looming over the Ashes series. According to a big news, Australia’s legendary player Glenn McGrath has become corona infected. McGrath will no longer be seen in the Sydney Test. He was part of the broadcast channel’s commentary panel in this series.
The Sydney Test was very special for Glenn McGrath, as it would be the Pink Test. For this reason the entire stadium will be painted pink. This test is dedicated to breast cancer sufferers. Any amount collected from this test will be donated to people suffering from breast cancer. Let us tell you that McGrath’s wife also died of breast cancer.
Wishing @glennmcgrath11 a speedy recovery after a positive Covid result.
I’m sure the Mcgrath Pink Test will still be a huge success even if you can’t be on site throughout. #bbccricket #ashes pic.twitter.com/MeaGpJvdXf

Let us tell you that the black shadow of Corona is over the Ashes. In this series, the first case of corona in Australian cricket came from Travis Head, where he got infected with the epidemic. For this reason, he has also been kept out of the Sydney Test and Usman Khawaja has joined the team in his place. At the same time, Corona has created a ruckus in the England team as well. So far, about half a dozen members of the English team that lost the Ashes series have been infected with Corona. However, no player has been infected by it.
