BCB sends bio-secure bubble plan to West Indies
DHAKA, Nov 10, 2020 (BSS)—The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has sent the bio-bubble plan to West Indies for their consideration for the upcoming bilateral series in Bangladesh.
The Caribbean side is due to visit Bangladesh in January for two Tests, three ODI’s and as many T20 internationals that will make the hosts resume international cricket after a long Covid-19 forced hiatus.
“We have contacted the West Indies Cricket Board in this regard and sent a bio-bubble plan for the series. At the same time we also sent the plan to the concerned ministries in our country,” BCB CEO Nizam Uddin Chowdhury said here today.
“We will take the final decision once we get the feedback from the West Indies Cricket Board regarding this plan.”
The CEO said West Indies requested the BCB to complete the tour in the shortest possible time.
“There was a request from them to complete the tour in the shortest possible time. We are working on that but no final decision is taken yet,” he added.
It was learnt BCB is trying to reduce the normal 14-day quarantine for the host and make it down to seven days so that they can start their preparation without much delay.
BCB CEO said earlier that they are studying all available bio-bubble models before preparing their own ‘bio-bubble’ plan for the upcoming Bangabandhu T20 tournament, slated for November-December as well as for the tourists.
