Bangladesh women’s emerging team’s home series against South Africa emerging team will continue as per schedule despite the countrywide lockdown to be observed from Monday onwards for at least seven days.

Bangladesh Cricket Board women’s wing manager Towhid Mahmood informed this to the media Saturday.

Bangladesh government Saturday imposed a week-long lockdown due to rising cases of Covid-19 in the country.

“We are to go ahead with the series as of now. We are not allowing crowd in the stadiums and the teams will be in bio-secured bubble anyways. We have our first game (today). We will go ahead with the series as planned unless there is a direction from the government. The message from the board to us is to go ahead as planned,” said Towhid.

Bangladesh women’s emerging team will host their South African counterparts for a five-match one-day series starting Sunday. 

All matches are scheduled to be played at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. 

The remainder of the games will be played on April 6, 8, 11 and 13.
