LONDON (Reuters) - England's cricket board said it is going ahead with its summer schedule and has not been asked to bring forward a five-test series against India to make room for the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) season.

This year's IPL, which featured a dozen English cricketers, was suspended indefinitely earlier this month after several personnel, including players, tested positive for COVID-19.
