England pace bowler Jofra Archer shared that playing cricket in front of empty stands will be difficult but the game should return soon after the situation gets better of the global pandemic novel coronavirus. This COVID-19 pandemic has affected several people and also claimed several lives too around the world.

However, cricket boards have been trying their best for the return of the game and the option of playing behind closed doors has also been considered as an option. Meanwhile, Jofra Archer believes that not having fans in the stadiums to cheer for them will be difficult for the players. He even shared this in his recent column for the Daily Mail.

"Although the crowd is an aspect we can sort out later, I think it will be one of those things you don't realise how much you need until it's gone. Take it away, and we will realise how much the supporters mean to us," he further added.
Moreover, the pacer of the World Cup winning team has also suggested that the use of loudspeakers help the players. But he thinks that it would take some time to use to with the situation.

"The best solution, if we do have to play behind closed doors, might be to have cheers and clapping when someone hits the ball for four or a wicket falls. These are the little things that will make it as normal as possible even though it won't be a normal occasion. But it's got to the stage where I don't really care about much else than playing right now," he concluded.

The global pandemic has either cancelled or postponed all the sporting events across the globe which is also included the 13th edition of cash-rich tournament Indian Premier League. Meanwhile, the cancellation of IPL will face a huge loss in the economy too.
