Cricket is the biggest sport in India, and Pandemic has taken all the real entertainment from them as we are not able to see cricket from the past three months.
Sources say we might see training in the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru out.
After over a break of two to three months, The Board of Control for Cricket in India has set vision to resume training of Indian cricketers in the middle of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
BCCI is seeking in cities which are declared as “green zone” or to a place which is outside the containment zones, so as to resume the training activity of senior team players, coaches and staff.
The Indian cricket board are in touch with The National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru as a potential place of starting the training.
The refined plan involves quarantining and isolating the players, coaches and staff and to give them a sanitized environment. BCCI has planned to set up an ‘isolation camp’ for safely training its staff and players.
The fully-equipped NCA is more than ready to host the camp, but Bengaluru is not COVID-19 virus-free, so the problem comes there.
Meanwhile, other venues are being explored which fall under “green zones” as classified by the government.
A BCCI to TOI, “The protection of the players, is the board’s priority. We will have to go on the logistics and see if Bengaluru is secure enough.
If things don’t look excellent, then we will look for areas in the country which fall outside the orange zones. The camp will be sanitized and there is also an option of opening up local stadiums to senior players.”
The BCCI official further added, “The players, team management and the cricket operations team are constantly in touch to deal with every issue.”
It is also reported that no players, management staff will be allowed to go outside of the isolation camp.
Those involved will have to go through a thorough medical checkup. The official also stated, “There are a lot of logistical issues.
BCCI needs the government directions and will adhere to it. The schedule of flights and freedom of movement will have to be taken into account. The medical team is also in the loop.”
The COVID-19 has forced BCCI to postpone or so cancel the IPL season 13, the ODI series against South Africa in March.
