“Any tourist who is entering Sri Lanka needs to keep this standard [of 14 days in quarantine],” Hassan said. “They (SLC) have revealed to us that they couldn’t take care of this point (quarantine). We have educated them that we need to reschedule the tour when things will improve. We can’t play the ICC Test Championship as indicated by their rules. Their cricket board and sports service made a decent attempt. They consented to everything except one of our necessities, however, that one is the genuine one. The 14-day quarantine.”

Covid-19 passings have been formally recorded in Sri Lanka

Just 13 Covid-19 passings have been formally recorded in Sri Lanka.

One SLC official communicated mellow dissatisfaction at the administration, calling health authorities “totally unbendable”, yet additionally proposed both the authorities and SLC were careful about being accused of a potential flare-up through the tour. Another SLC official likewise said the BCB had at one point requested a three-day quarantine, which the authority depicted as “strange”.

Sri Lanka Cricket had skimmed a few plans

Sri Lanka Cricket had skimmed a few plans they felt would be more agreeable to the BCB, however, each of these was dismissed by Sri Lanka’s health authorities. The topic of why Sri Lanka couldn’t be adaptable when England had been during their home summer had been raised. In any case, the reaction from health authorities had been that in spite of the fact that for England’s situation the biosecure bubbles had been generally intended to shield players from contamination – with a network spread wild in England – Sri Lanka was endeavoring to shield general society from potential transporters showing up from abroad. In contrast to Manchester and Southampton, Sri Lanka additionally doesn’t have settings with on-location lodgings.

Hassan said that the BCB additionally expected to comprehend the Sri Lankan adaptation of the expression “quarantine” which, as indicated by him, varied from what the Bangladesh board thought it was. He said remaining restricted to space for 14 days was probably going to negatively affect a player’s psychological and physical prosperity in front of a three-coordinate Test arrangement.

“There’s a distinction between ‘quarantine’ and ‘isolation’,” Hassan said. “In the event that we put somebody in-home quarantine, the person in question can’t get out of the house.

BCB CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury likewise

BCB CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury likewise said a board discharge the choice to defer the tour was essential on the grounds that the health rules would not permit the Bangladesh players to plan appropriately for the arrangement.

“We have consistently kept up that readiness of the group was a need as the players are falling off a six-month hole from any cricket because of the COVID-19 circumstance in the nation,” Chowdhury said. “Along these lines, in accordance with the standard practice corresponding to COVID-19 and quarantine for cricket crews in nations where the game has continued, we needed the Bangladesh Team to have legitimate preparing openings in Sri Lanka before they began playing. We never thought about handling an ill-equipped side in global cricket.

“The BCB is deferential to the health and security necessities of each nation during the pandemic and had mentioned SLC to consider a more adaptable type of quarantine for the Bangladesh Team in Sri Lanka with the goal that it could begin preparing as a gathering as ahead of schedule as conceivable upon appearance. Nonetheless, from their reaction, we comprehend that the Ministry of Health of the Sri Lanka Government right now was not in a situation to make exclusions to its most recent ‘Health Guideline’ and that similar limitations appropriate to general guests will stay set up for the Bangladesh Team which incorporates a compulsory 14-day exacting quarantine in individual rooms of the lodging on coming to”.

Covid-19 team to reexamine the issue
