Australian fast bowler Pat Cummins feels "lucky" that cricket is not an out-an-out contact sport at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the sporting calendar, not even sparing his own game.
Australia and New Zealand played the first ODI of the three-match series in an empty stadium on Friday amid the outbreak which has so far claimed over 5000 lives.
"We're lucky in cricket that it's not a contact sport, you can try and avoid getting too close to each other so no one really changed too much," Cummins was quoted as saying in cricket.au.com.
"We were pretty clear on making sure nothing really affected the integrity of how we actually played and not changing anything about how we normally go about the game."
