Bangladesh head coach Russell Domingo said that they have to have regular discussion among themselves during this time of corona pandemic that forced them to be in a bio bubble environment.
Bangladesh Cricket Board recently opted to break their own bio-bubble that they had initiated from September 21 as they announced a three-day family break for the cricketers in order to keep them mentally fresh.
BCB had formed a 27-member party for a one-week residential camp from September 20 ahead of the tour of Sri Lanka as part of the preparation for the proposed three-match Test series that was scheduled to start from October 23 with the tourists expected to leave on September 27.
‘’I think you must have constant discussion with the players. We are trying to encourage a culture in the team where players are comfortable coming forward and discussing whatever issues they’ve got. I think we are still trying to get to that place. Some guys will hold it in a little bit more, some guys will be more expressive about it.
“The coaches have been in a bubble now for about 28 days. We haven’t gone anywhere yet. We haven’t just gone to the cricket practice and back (to the hotel). We haven’t seen our families. We know it is tough but that’s why it is important to have people around you, with whom you can discuss things with.
“At the moment everybody is fine. I don’t see any issues. If there are, we will provide the players with as much support as we can. We do know everybody is different and there are various challenges that people face. So far so good. I have loved my first month here. It is good to be back at cricket. It would be nice if we could play some serious games but it is what it is. We just have to make the best of a bad situation at the moment. Everyone is fine, happy. Missing families, obviously. But we also have to do a job, and provide for our families. So we have to bite the bullet,’’ he said.
