Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is working to prepare three different training modules for cricketers so that they can use those effectively to bring cricketers back to the cricket, said BCB officials on Wednesday.
The BCB has sketched out a discrete training planning for the cricketers under which they will try to create a bio-safe environment training facilities for them.
Even though the government has eased down its lockdown across the country since May 30, the BCB is reluctant to end the cricketing shutdown as they think that the risk of the contagion of the coronavirus is still at large.
The BCB is now advancing on preparing a comprehensive 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.
Earlier BCB chief selector Minhajul Abedin Nannu insisted that they are yet to get the plan from the medical team that he feels will be required to form a squad.
“We’ve done a few types of training modules because it’ll depend on how we’ll be instructed. We’re told to prepare a few types of training modules for cricketers so that we can pick the convenient one when cricket returns after the corona pandemic,” said Debashis adding that they are keeping the ICC guidelines before preparing the plans.
“One training module is designed for solo training, one for group training, another we are doing only for the bowlers. Mainly pace bowler but spin bowler will also be involved,” Chowdhury also said.
“There are different modules of training, Sri Lanka is doing the full residential model only with bowlers while England is doing it another way. This is just a guideline and it will implement differently and so that's how we have made the plan. But if there is a situation arrived in the team then we may not be able to follow,” he added.
“Firstly solo training, which will be done by maintaining distance, under proper isolation, for example, one hour will be allotted for one person and he will come and do some drill and some skills, all alone, there will be a supervisor for him, there will be a trainer and a physio on the field, but there will be no one else. When he’ll leave another one will enter. The planning will be given to them in advance and they will execute the plan when they come there where the trainer will supervise them. If they do it one by one, then there will be no problem.”
“We’ll bring three players for group training. According to ICC’s four-stage guideline they said one, three, 10, more than 10 players but it’s just a guideline, and not everyone is following it,” he said.
“We’ll be limiting the number of support staff during the training, only a minimum number of people will be allowed in one session,” he said, signing off.
