The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is considering having flexible start times for the third Test match between England and Pakistan. The administrators faced a lot of criticism after losing considerable time to rain and bad light during the second Test at Southampton.
The third Test is scheduled to start at 11:00 BST on Friday. However, BBC reported on 20th August that the ECB is mulling over the idea of starting at 10:30 BST on some days, if required.
In the past, the ICC and the cricket boards have been pessimistic about having flexible start timings since the fans who book tickets to come to the venue might get affected.
There were some safety and security concerns also cited. However, with no fans being admitted inside the stadium, the option to have flexible timings seems to be amenable to the ECB.
