David Warner casts fresh doubts over Australia's UK tour in July

It is "highly unlikely" that Australia's scheduled limited-overs tour of England and Scotland will go ahead given coronavirus pandemic, star batsman David Warner has said. Australia are scheduled to take on Scotland in a T20 on June 29 before playing three T20s and three ODIs against world champions England from July 3. "At moment it's highly unlikely we're going to go over re given what's happened in England," Warner told cricket.com.au.

Warner casts fresh doubts over Australia's UK tour

England and Wales Cricket Board has suspended all cricket in country until at least July 1 and England's Test series with West Indies set for June has already been rescheduled. ECB chief executive Tom Harrison said any furr delays to ir season would likely mean "losing cricket rar than rescheduling". Australia has already seen a two-Test tour of Bangladesh that had been scheduled for June called off, while a planned limited-overs home series against Zimbabwe in August is also unlikely to proceed.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has just recovered from COVID-19 infection and Warner said beating disease should w be priority.

"He's back up on his feet w and that's fantastic news, but re's a lot more to this than just sport being played.

" biggest picture is making sure we're doing all right things we can to flatten this curve and doing what we can do to play our bit in that. We've done a great job so far and all Australians should be credited," he said.

Warner rejected idea of resuming sport without spectators. " doubt at all, you want crowds matter where you go and where you play. I love playing in England, it's awesome. "You've always got someone y always try and rev up, and fortunately for team it's pretty much just me, and that takes a lot of heat off or guys," he said. "We're re to put bums on seats and hopefully we can entertain crowd by playing a good brand of cricket."
