Assuming First Class Cricket will be played, there won't be relegation so the rookie pros will have a free pass to establish themselves.
There's certainly going to be a lot of squad rotation. According to the Telegraph T20 is commencing August 28th. That allows 27 days to fit in 5 4day games.

Commonsense finally prevails. Not only cricket is a social distancing sport in nature, but it is a self governing game where stepping over the line is unacceptable.
Looking forward to bowling my gentle in-swingers and getting bowled out for a duck

I wonder though if that loophole supposedly allowing cricket grounds to reclassify as pubs, so any spectators are regarded as pub patrons, will come into play.
October seems a very late date. There was speculation a few days ago that the start of the next Premier League, in September, would be played in front of crowds.

Ronnie o Sullivan for instance was talking about pulling out the snooker tournament used as a test event due to feeling uncomfortable with spectators there, and all this is best case scenario. R number rises and the last phases to bring back big gatherings is the first thing that will be put in the back burner, so I very much doubt we will get to October without cases starting to bounce up

Technically speaking many stands have a bar built in and can be classed as pub property, they just need to be open. Contact and trace won't be an issue as ticket holders will contain customer details if bought from the ticket office.

It was always the intention that attendance was limited to members only making trace straightforward,spectators come and go throughout the day this avoiding congregation at beginning and end of play, social distancing is easy to conform to and to monitor. No problem, fixtures have now been given to counties and published openly at beginning of next week.
