Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has asked its cricketers to take a ‘ready to train’ approach coming to practice for competitive cricket after a four-month lengthy break.
BCB has already opened four designated venues for the national cricketers so that they can start their individual training following certain rules and hygiene protocols, provided by the country’s cricket apex body what they prepared with the help of its medical department and its national team’s physiotherapist Julian Calefato.
The players like Mushfiqur Rahim, Mohammad Mithun, Shafiul Islam, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Nasum Ahmed, Nurul Hasan Sohan and few other players have already done with their day-1training module under the supervision of the trainer, medical team and its cricket operations committee as well.
However, BCB chief physician Dr Debashis Chowdhury recalled the rules and medium they have made to avoid any unavoidable circumstance and do the training in a proper and safe way amid the growing fears of the COVID-19.
“We’re trying to keep the players from coming in contact with others. Thus we’ve created a roster so that the players train alone during a session. From arriving to leaving, the players will be under the supervision of our medical team and trainer,” Dr Debashis told this web portal.
“Every player has individually been briefed on what kind of things they will be doing in practice and what preparations they must take there. We’ve asked them to take a ‘ready to train’ approach so that they can just come to the ground, train and go back home without changing their clothes,” Chowdhury also said.
“We’ve also asked them to not bring any food or water, we will be supplying them the water. And thirdly, we have asked them not to use the bathrooms or the dressing rooms unless they have to,” he added.
Debashish is also keeping them busy to pick up some different strategies in case a large number of players get interested to start training and also for probable group training in the coming future.
“As there are only four players, I think we won’t face any issues for now. The problem will arise if more players want to train. Then we will have to pick a different strategy,” he concluded.
