"The visa was issued this [Wednesday] morning. I'm not sure about the quarantine. It may take 16th to arrive there. Then there is the corona test. The first ODI on the 16th, it seems I can't play,” Rubel told Cricfrenzy.

Meanwhile, Shahriar Nafees, deputy manager of the BCB's cricket management department, confirmed to Cricfrenzy that the visa of these two cricketers has been issued as he said "Their visas have benn confirmed, they are leaving tonight," he said.
