CWI delegates satisfied by measures

Cricket West Indies (CWI) delegates, visiting ahead of a scheduled series against West Indies in January that will feature three Tests, three ODIs and two T20Is, were satisfied by the Covid-19 management plan presented by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB)

The delegation, including Director of CWI Akshai Mansingh and head of security Paul Slowe, visited various facilities including stadiums, hotels, and hospitals in Dhaka and Chittagong.

"I have to say that the protocols that were described to us by the BCB were very well thought-out. The fact that there have been three competitions prior to our coming and one going on now obviously; they are well-practiced. We are very happy with what we saw in Dhaka and Chattogram," Mashsingh told media at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium yesterday.

The date for the team's arrival, however, is yet to be finalised. According to Mansingh, it will depend on quarantine protocols.

"Certainly for the first three days, we suggest in-room quarantine. After the third day, we do a second test. After that is negative, we would like to do some practicing within our squad, but not exposing ourselves to anybody else until seven days are passed. We will have intra-squad practice and activities. After day 7, the recommendation is that we should have net sessions with Bangladeshi players," he added.
