The COVID-19 pandemic issue became one of the hottest topics in cricket news nowadays because of its impact on the sport and several cricket organizations. Despite the massive suspension of cricket leagues and tournaments, Joe Burns shares that he finds a silver lining amidst the chaos happening in the world. Most of the countries were forced to implement home quarantine for a month due to the pandemic spreading across the globe. However, since the confirmed cases and death tolls increase every day and there is still no available cure for the disease, the government bodies mandated to extend the lockdown. With this current situation, not only the employees who can’t go to work and earn money are affected but also huge business districts, sports activities and various business industries including gambling. In several countries, the revenue of land-based casinos started to decrease rapidly since the lockdown. Even bookmakers are having a hard time earning profit at this time because they can’t offer cricket odds to the market since there are still no available matches. In response to this situation, Burns mentioned that home quarantine is not bad at all because it gives cricketers time to lay off, “Definitely this enforced layoff for everyone provides the opportunity just to really get yourself right, reset and start preparing physically for next summer,” “It’s probably the longest off-season any of us would have had for a long time. From a physical perspective, it gives the opportunity for us to be in a really strong position. I think that’s the silver lining,” he explained. Joe Anthony Burns is currently playing for the Australia national cricket team as the batsman with a right-handed batting and right-arm medium, right-arm off break bowling style. Unfortunately, when he was playing against England in 2019, he was struck by a chronic fatigue condition and was forced to layoff for recovery. Due to his condition, he was removed from the Ashes squad but was able to have a comeback during the series against New Zealand and Pakistan cricket team. Since many cricketers are currently staying at home, Burns continued to share the silver lining in this situation, “There are times during the year where you do get a little bit worn out, a little bit tired and you do want some time at home,” However since the lockdown has been taking some time now, the 30-year-old cricketer stated, “It’s the other end of the spectrum now. You can’t wait just to get out there on the cricket field, and running around with your mates, getting stuck into training and playing games,” he said.
