It’s said from Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) that eight venues including the home of cricket ‘Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (SBNCS) across the country will keep open for the players’ individual practice from Saturday.
They are Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium (ZACS) in Chattogram, Sylhet International Cricket Stadium (SICS) in Sylhet, Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium (KSOAS) in Fatullah, Sheikh Kamal International Cricket Stadium (SKICS) in Cox’s Bazar, Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium (SANS) in Khulna, Shaheed Chandu Stadium (SCS) in Bogura and Shahid Kamruzzaman Stadium (SKS) in Rajshahi beside the SBNCS.
All the venues had remained closed since the corona pandemic in Bangladesh emerged since the last week of March when the BCB suspended all types of cricketing competitions and activities for an indefinite period after getting the directives from the government.
The cricketers would have to train at the stadiums from their individual interest as BCB have no say about their practice module.
“A total of eight cricket stadiums including the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium will be opened for the practice from Saturday. The cricketers can avail of the opportunity if they want,” BCB chief physician Dr. Debashis Chowdhury said.
“It’s no routine practice. The cricketers, who want to train here, can come and have their training abiding by all health rules. But while it is the personal training, the BCB will take decisions about the timing of the practice and the type of the practice. The cricket operations will give them a guideline in this regard,” Chowdhury added.
The BCB also wanted to know the names of the players who are ready to practice from Saturday as they are told to submit their name by Friday.
“Hopefully we’ll get all the names by Friday after which we will know how many players are interested to train at this stadium,” Dr. Debashis said.
“There will be no group practice. BCB will set the timing of every individual’s practice. That’s why we want to know how many players are interested,” he concluded.
