The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) wants the quarantine period to be less than 14 days during their tour in Sri Lanka as they want to get enough time for practice before the three-match Test series, reports BSS.

The BCB wanted a mandatory isolation period due to the COVID-19 situation to be seven days, to which Sri Lanka is yet to reply.

“We want the quarantine period to be as short as it is possible. There is discussion about seven-day quarantine but it is not finalized yet,” BCB CEO Nizam uddin Chowdhury told the BSS yesterday.

“But it’s not the thing that will depend on the Sri Lankan board. They would do what their government would say. As far as I am concerned, they will talk to their government regarding this matter after which they will let us know.”

Due to the outbreak of coronavirus, Bangladesh’s cricketing activities were halted since March before it began in limited scale on July 19.
