DHAKA, Nov 24, 2020 (BSS) – A two-member Cricket West Indies
inspection team is set to arrive in Dhaka on November 28 to assess the
Covid-19 management and the security arrangements ahead of the team’s
tour in Bangladesh.
West Indies are due to visit in January for three Tests and three
ODIs along with two Twenty20 Internationals. There is a possibility of
reducing a Test in a bid to shorten the tour in the aspect of
Covid-19.
BCB had already presented a comprehensive Covid-19 management plan
to its West Indian counterpart for approval, taking first steps
towards the resumption of international cricket in the country.
Dr Akshai Mansingh (a member of the ICC & CWI Medical Panel as well
a CWI Director) and Paul Slowe (Security and Safety Manager) are
expected to arrive separately by December 3.
“A two-member delegate from West Indies will arrive in Dhaka on
November 28,” Cricket Operations Chairman Akram Khan said today.
“One member is from their medical department and another is from
security department. They will visit the venues in Dhaka and
Chattogram. They will report to their board after watching all the
arrangements,” he added.
