David Warner feels Australians are ‘highly unlikely’ to tour England this winter

Australia is scheduled to play limited overs matches against Scotland and England.

David Warner | GettyAustralia is scheduled to tour England and Scotland for a limited-overs series later this year, but opener David Warner feels that might not be the case, given the Coronavirus pandemic. Australia has been scheduled to meet Scotland in a T20 on June 29 before playing three T20s and three ODIs against world champions England from July 3.

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, ECB has suspended all cricket till at least July 1, and the limited-overs series is mooted to be pushed back two months until September.

"At the moment it's highly unlikely we're going to go over there given what's happened in England. He's back up on his feet now and that's fantastic news, but there's a lot more to this than just sport being played. The biggest picture is making sure we're doing all the 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,” Warner said.

It is possible that cricket may resume devoid of any support for cricketers in the stadiums due to the pandemic, but Warner hopes that this all can be avoided and the game resumes with fans enjoying it, despite their behavior towards him, especially in England.

"No doubt at all, you want crowds no matter where you go and where you play. I love playing in England, it's awesome. You've always got someone they always try and rev up, and fortunately for the team, it's pretty much just me, and that takes a lot of the heat off the other guys. I'm quite thick-skinned and it doesn't really affect me at all. I just laugh it off and play along with the crowd,” he said.
