Just like other sports, cricket too is suspended following the outbreak of coronavirus. Cricket in major Test-playing nations and associate nations continue to be off the field. However, in the Pacific island of Vanuatu cricket action has resumed. Reportedly, Vanuatu has no cases of the coronavirus, but the government closed borders and stopped flights to prevent the inflow of COVID-19 virus. Unfortunately, tropical cyclone (TC) Harold hit the region in early April and caused widespread destruction. Vanuatu Cricket association will now work to provide aid in cyclone relief.

"We understand the devastation that TC Harold has caused on the northern islands of Vanuatu and we would like to give back to the communities that we have been working closely with on Santo that have been affected," Melissa Fare, Vanuatu Cricket marketing manager was quoted as saying by ICC.
