With the global situation evolving rapidly and continuously, the tournament, scheduled to be held in October, is under a cloud, though Australia, the host, has managed to curb the spread of the coronavirus better than most countries.

But with other countries far behind in how effectively they have coped with the pandemic, Roy said postponing the tournament would make sense, before quickly adding that England would be ready for any eventuality.

“I’ve got a huge amount of trust in the ECB. I think they will look into every single avenue of all the positives, all the negatives. So I guess I would trust in what they say, probably have a chat with Morgs and see where his head’s at and go with that.

“I don’t think I’ll have too many questions, especially when it got to the stage of ‘Right, we’re going to play’, because there’ll be a lot of people in those meetings discussing whether it’s the right thing to do or not.

“I just want to play some cricket, to be honest. I think for us to be able to go out there and play some cricket would be an incredible feeling. I feel like a kid again. I guess we’re governed by the government here, we don’t really know what is going on or what the safety measures are. There’s way bigger things out there. I’m more than happy to play behind closed doors, it would just be nice to get out there.”
