    "It's great news that the players and staff have an official return to the training date. There is huge excitement around the group, with the prospect of training shortly and the hopeful return of some cricket," said Jason Kerr in an official statement.

    Players will be preparing for the upcoming season

    Professional cricket has been suspended since March, owing to coronavirus pandemic. Jason Kerr added the the team's focus will be to prepare rigorously in the upcoming weeks. "The lads have been very creative whilst in lockdown, adapting brilliantly to training away from the environment and we can now focus on preparing best we can over the next few weeks," he added.

    The training will be held at Cooper Associates County Ground

    The player training will take place at the Cooper Associates County Ground, which remains closed for public presently. Earlier this week, ECB canceled a number of national tournaments and said recreational cricket in the country could resume around July 4. The board has also stated that health and safety of everyone involved will be prioritized over resumption of cricket.
