The aim is to create a bio-secure environment with the teams in Florida. Upon arrival, all teams will be under a compulsory 14 quarantine period and detailed health checks along with rigorous testing will be mandatory at the facility.&nbsp;

Following the footsteps of NBA, America's Major League Soccer too might head to Disney World facility in Florida to finish the remainder of their season. According to reports in the American press, the MLS&nbsp;had signed a new collective bargaining agreement with the players' association which will run through the 2025 season.&nbsp;Once the final plans are approved, the teams are likely to make their way thought to Florida where they will spend 2 weeks in Quarantine before playing the matches in empty stadiums for the television audience.

The 49-year-old who is more worried about restarting the sport than the knick-knacks&nbsp;involved feels that there will be no need for any artificial substance for the bowlers and that once cricket resumes everything will fall into place.&nbsp;

Contrary to earlier estimates, Cricket Australia has further estimated a plunge of about 50% to their revenues this year and has warned the players' association of further pay cuts. The players' union also confirmed that they've received a report from Cricket Australia about the drop in revenues and are going to discuss it. Cricket Australia&nbsp;earlier projected&nbsp;A$400 million revenue pool but it could go down further as the chances of them hosting the World T20 are also reducing due to Covid-19. This shortfall is not just impacting the international Aussie stars but domestic players as well. Cricket Australia is now desperate to host India for a full Test tour as it may inject almost A$400 million back in the system.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
