ENGvPAK ODI in Edgbaston set to have 19,000 fans

London: All spectators aged 11 or older will be required to show a negative COVID-19 lateral flow test result or proof of a second vaccine dose at least two weeks before the match.

The third one-day international between England and Pakistan at Edgbaston next month will be allowed to have 19,000 spectators, organisers said.

The day-night contest, scheduled for July 13, has been permitted to host an 80per cent capacity crowd without social distancing requirements after it was confirmed as one of the government’s pilot events to allow bigger crowds.

Earlier this month, Edgbaston held a pilot event at 70per cent capacity for England’s second test against New Zealand, accommodating around 60,000 spectators across four days.
