BCCI issues SOP to state units for resuming domestic cricket

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has issued a 100-page detailed guideline, prepared by the board’s medical team, which advised that coaches, as well as members of the support and ground staff above 60 years of age, be discouraged from participating in the training sessions.

“Individuals who are over the age of 60, viz support staff, umpires, ground staff, and those individuals with underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, weakened immunity, should be considered vulnerable and are believed to have a higher risk of severe Covid-19,” read the guidelines.

According to its Standard Operating Procedure guidelines, the players will have to sign the form acknowledging the risks involved with the resumption of training amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Two tests one day apart (Day 1 & Day 3) should be done to account for false negatives. If both the test results are negative, only then they should be included in the camp,” according to the SOPs guidelines.

The participants will have to wear an N95 mask and teyewear in public places as well as during training.
