Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) officials said that they can implement a bio-safety environment for the national cricketers if it is required in the future.
BCB is planning for an intangible training session for the cricketers under which they are also trying to create a bio-safe environment training facilities for the players.
Despite being relaxed the enforced lockdown-like situation by the government since May 30, BCB thinks that the risk of the contagion of the virus is still at large.
BCB is now advancing on preparing a plan as per the given guidelines by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to resume the outdoor practice.
BCB’s chief physician Debashish Chowdhury said that their medical team had prepared few training plans which will be implemented once they are asked by the respective authorities that include training in biosafety bubbles.
‘’Bio-safety bubble is what you put in an enclosed space. Keeping everyone inside a cover so that there is no communication from outside,” Debashis said.
“Suppose you call a team of 15 players with five coaching staff, a total of 20 people you check and test all of them. You isolated them by testing. When you isolate them, you’ll see everything from their stay, their food to their transportation. They’ll train and after training, they will get back to the same channel. They’ll not come in contact with anyone,” Debashis said.
“I think it’s possible only in the case of international matches. But you can’t do it just like that. It’s impossible to keep everyone and feed. But if you declare a team, then we can get this done with the team,” he also said.
We’ll isolate the team. They’ll stay in a hotel. They’ll be on one floor of the hotel. There are guidelines about it. They’ll stay on one floor, get down from there; they’ll use a car, go to the stadium, play and get back with the car and go to the hotel again. Which means there will be no contact with anyone? It may be possible by doing this but it’ll not be possible to do for everyone,” he concluded.
