I don't think that will end tomorrow. Even it is withdrawn then there will be restrictions on sports and entertainment. I heard from news that for the future games teams will go to the host country stay quarantined for 15 days and then play in spectators free stadiums.

It is possible if the cricket playing countries are able to conduct intensive test for the virus and monitor each player before allowing the players to start preparing and then start playing the tournaments in empty stadiums. They need to get permission from their respected government to restart everything and for that we need to wait for some more time.

The biggest question is, is it profitable for them to conduct the matches in empty stadiums and if the government will allow to continue with sports.

Don't think if the government priorities at this time is to resume the cricket. The main focus of the governments is to open up the lock down so that people can go back on their jobs and business with certain restrictions and SOPs. Resuming cricket is not a big priority at the moment.

Cricket would only become priority in the big case events where the government and people get huge revenues and it is worth taking that much risk at present situation. I think they will start thinking later as anyways the rains would be in soon and for next 3 months it would not be able to conduct matches.

Most government are concerned about economic revival and curbing the virus spread. Cricket will be the last thing they will have in their mind. But, you cannot say that cricket tournaments do not generate a huge revenue.

A 2018 articles states that
According to the data provided by BCCI, the Indian Premier League (IPL) contributed Rs 11.5 billion ($182 million) to India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2015.

Yo can read the complete article here https://www.financialexpress.com/sports/ipl/ipl-economy-what-the-cash-rich-league-adds-to-indias-gdp/1025063/

This data is from the organised sector, the same amount or less will also come from the unorganised sector.

The England cricket board is expecting to resume international matches by July 8 and they will be hosting West Indies but it is not clear when the domestic season will be starting. All the English players are expected to resume training this month

There is another league planning to schedule, Vincy Premier League (VPL) T10 and it will start by May 22.

No idea about the rest of the cricket boards but hopefully Australia will follow the same path.

I know that some people will not watch matches and focus on other activities but people like me who are addicted to cricket, prefer to watch any cricket game and feel bored in times of no matches.

Hope you have heard about youtube Tongue

If you are really addicted to cricket you can watch many old matches and really great innings and the amount of videos that are available will keep you entertained for years. And once you finish watching those then you can register into hotstar as they have all the IPL matches and that too not even highlights, you can get the entire match.

I know that i could watch tons of matches on youtube but i want that other people also watch these matches and we have some discussions on it too here. With retrolive, everyone expressed their feelings on each match and therefore it was entertaining to watch the old matches too.

I understand that retrolive is boring when compare with live matches, but do we have live matches resumed ?
Since there are no live matches, we have no option but to watch these matches. I know that some people will not watch matches and focus on other activities but people like me who are addicted to cricket, prefer to watch any cricket game and feel bored in times of no matches.

The last time I watched any of the sports channels was more than a month back. Here some of the local cricket clubs are talking about resuming club matches next week. A lot will depend whether the lockdown is lifted or not. As of now, the lockdown in India is supposed to end tomorrow. I just hope that it is not extended any further.

No one responded to this means that people are not interested in Retrolive matches. Also this is the first weekend where retrolive does not repeat telecast any match, does this means that people are no longer interested in old matches and they want to view the new live matches only ?

At first people reacted out of respect to their old memories and due to lockdown implication -boredom- but after sometime everyone accepted that Retrolive_matches are boring, so no more telecast or viewership/clicks.

@JSRAW you’re absolutely correct because initially people were struggling to get used to their lockdown routine hence watching the old matches was kind of peaceful for them, but over a period of time they all finally settled in to their new routine and hence they stopped watching those matches as they diverted their time in other activities. Lastly as usual it came down to money, and once the broadcasters realised that they’re not making any money from showing the old matches, they decided to pull the plug and and I feel that their action is completely justified under the circumstances.

Absolutely correct it is too frustrating now to watch those retro matches. I want to see some actual cricket now but, with all those negative news about postponing future tournaments my frustrations is growing even more.
