Chennai, Feb 2 : Upto 50 per cent of the seats at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium will be allowed to be filled with spectators for the second Test between India and England which is scheduled to be played from February 13 to 17, the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) said on Tuesday. In view of the Government announcement that 50% occupancy would be allowed in stadia, Tamil Nadu Cricket Association will allow 50 per cent spectators for the 2nd Test to be held between 13th and 17th February 2021, TNCA secretary R.S.Ramaswamy said in the statement.
“It has been decided by the BCCI and TNCA to allow 50% spectators for the second Test by following all safety protocols,” the official said. “There is little time to make arrangements for spectators’ entry for the first Test so crowds cannot be allowed. Though the gap between the first two Tests is only three days, we are confident that arrangements can be made for fans in the second Test.”
TNCA members and journalists may be allowed at the first Test, while clearance has already been given for spectators to attend the third and fourth matches, which will be played at the 110,000-capacity Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad. Though they can expect a hostile atmosphere, the development was immediately welcomed by England’s players.
