The training sessions involving England bowlers have been delayed due to complications in delivering safety protocols.
 
The England Cricket Board (ECB) was hoping that the training of players would start at the earliest in order to resume Test cricket in July, but some issues emerged in establishing uniform practices to minimise the chances of infection and they turned out to be slightly harder to implement, cricket website ESPNCricinfo reported.
 
According to ESPNCricinfo report, the reason for the delay was scarcity in personal protective equipment (PPE) which was to be worn by physios and there was also a delay in getting the cricket balls delivered to the bowlers.
 
Earlier, it was established that each bowler would be using his own cricket ball as a precautionary measure against the coronavirus.
