Sport can wait for now but on resumption, it could play a massive role in "uplifting the world" from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, feels England's limited overs captain Eoin Morgan.
Sporting activities the world over came to a grinding halt in the wake of the pandemic that has claimed more than 47,000 lives.
"Sport could play a huge role in uplifting the world and people's perspective on things," Morgan was quoted as saying by the ICC.
"Isolation encourages idle minds. Sport can create that theatre and that level of expectation around what it's like to be outside again and be active. If it came to it, I think it would be a huge step forward."
