Our operations team have been working hard throughout the Covid-19 pandemic to make Sophia Gardens as safe a venue as possible for spectators comfort and safety.

We've installed hand sanisters throughout the stadium, with one-way systems in place and enhanced cleaning measures to help keep you safe and healthy.

We've also introduced strict social distancing measures and clear signage and guidance around Sophia Gardens.

The health and wellbeing of everyone involved is the number one priority. The ECB will continue to work closely with government, other sports governing bodies and across industry to plan and deliver the safe return of spectators to live cricket.

We will contact ticket holders to advise them of any health and safety measures that may be in place. These measures may include, but may not be limited to, the following:

• Spectator Code of Conduct – a commitment from all match day attendees to adhere to any safety measures outlined and NOT to attend if they or any members of their household or ‘bubble’ are displaying symptoms of Covid-19 or have been asked to self-isolate
• Test & Trace – the host venue may request contact details for all attendees, in line with government guidance
• Hygiene and Cleaning – host venues will work with match day delivery partners to ensure hygiene measures are enhanced on site in all spectator areas
• Managed Entry/Exit/Circulation – Arrival, departure and spectator circulation will be carefully planned and may be staggered. To support this, venues may recommend travel options to and from the venue that are different from those which supporters have previously experienced. Spectators can expect to see both increased signage and instructions to ensure the safety of all attendees, in line with government guidance

 If there is a requirement for social distancing and a reduction in stadium capacity, we will contact ticket purchasers to advise on next steps and any contingency measures in place.

All ticket purchasers are provided with a Ticket Refund Promise to guard against the potential impact of Covid-19.
