Dhaka, Jun 4 (UNI) The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has turned down a request from leading cricketers in the country to resume personal training at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, citing health safety concerns in the wake of Covid-19 pandemic.
The former captain Mushfiqur Rahim was one of the few cricketers who approached the BCB to start practice but was denied permission by the board as they are yet to complete disinfecting their facilities.
'Mushfiq communicated with us, he wanted to begin personal training. But we told him that this is not yet a safe time to do so, he should train at home. Training is important, but players’ safety is more important to us,' BCB chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury said as quoted by Cricbuzz quoted on Thursday.
