It's time that old power struggles are set aside and the cricketing world embraces the "spirit of cooperation" like the West Indies, says former England skipper David Gower. The West Indies have agreed to tour England for a three-Test series next month, helping the stake-holders who are striving to resume on-field action, halted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

If the series gets the nod of the UK government it will mark resumption of international cricket "The West Indies have done us a favour. It is a unique situation and one with huge pressures," Gower told the 'Press Association' "It will be a huge relief for these games to happen because getting going again in the key," he added Gower said even before the coronavirus outbreak wrecked the cricket calender, many boards were facing financial crisis and situation is worse now.
