The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) which emerged from the Wuhan city of China has been spread across all over the globe which has caused many countries to shut down and many countries have banned big gatherings so that the virus can’t be spread more. Most of the international borders have been closed.
As big gatherings are banned many sports called-off the series/matches that were scheduled due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus as every sport catches a huge number of spectators in the stadiums and viruses can be spread in a large number in the stadiums.
