Dhaka: “A few other players wanted to know if they could do individual training. But our message was the same for all. We are working on disinfecting our facilities. But the job is yet to be completed.” In Bangladesh, 746 people have died and over 55,000 have tested positive for coronavirus.
“We need to consider the overall situation. We can’t rush into anything. Many countries are starting their activities; we will definitely do the same. However, we can’t give an exact date right now,” Nizamuddin said. “We have been working to disinfect the things we need for training after Eid, and it is in the process. After it is completed we can say that we are ready to start cricket training again.
“Then we will see the overall situation in the country. After assessing the overall situation we will call the players because you have to understand, we can’t risk the health of the players in any way because the players are a very valuable asset to the BCB.”
The BCB Chief Executive said that the board will follow the ICC guidelines regarding the resumption of team training. “It is right that some other countries have started their training activities following the ICC guidelines and we will do the same. We’ll just see what their plans are before making plans to resume cricket.”
BCB chief physician Debashish Chowdhury said that if BCB wants to hold a residential training programme for the whole team, then the medical team will also plan for a bio-safety bubble for the players.
