LONDON (Reuters) - The England men's squad will return to individual skills-based training next week in venues across the country amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Thursday.

Centrally contracted bowlers and those invited from the county circuit will train for the first two weeks and once they "reach their desired loading efforts", batsmen and wicketkeepers will begin their individual sessions, the ECB said in a statement.
