Insurer to pay for today’s ticket refunds but local firms suffer

The England and Wales Cricket Board’s (ECB) insurer will refund 18,000 ticketholders for today’s England v Australia Ashes Test match at Headingley after the match finished early, the Times reports.

But much local business around the Leeds ground was not insured. Predictions of the financial value of the game to the region were downgraded £10m to £6m.
