Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) hired the services of two scientists to brief their players regarding corona virus ahead of the forthcoming tour of Sri Lanka.
BCB chief physician Debashish Chowdhury confirmed the development adding that one of them is UK based while the other comes from Dhaka University.
"They are researchers and experts and the purpose of hiring them is to make our players aware more about the Covid-19. Their first on-line session, which lasted for just above an hour with the players was held on Thursday night. More than 50 national and High Performance Centre players attended the seminar,’’ Debashish Chowdhury told reporters on Saturday.
"We are planning to invite them for one more session here with the players before we actually begin our Sri Lanka tour".
It was learnt that several players keenly listened to them and then also interacted with them and cleared their doubts. It was more of a Covid-19 Awareness Program.
BCB has no plan to send these two scientists to Sri Lanka at present but it was learnt at least one medical person is bound to be with the team for the entire duration of the tour.
