Dhaka : , Two Bangladeshi women cricket players tested positive for Omicron COVID-19 on their return from Zimbabwe.
“It will take time to recover and according to protocol we will keep them under watch for two weeks and they will be released after recovering fully,” Cricbuzz quoted Maleque as saying.
“We are doing contact tracing and testing everyone who has come close to them,” he added.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), on December 6, extended the isolation of the women’s national team after two female members tested positive for COVID-19 upon their return from Zimbabwe.
The team had gone to Zimbabwe to participate in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 qualifiers, which was cancelled midway due to the outbreak of Omicron.
Upon their return, the members of the women’s team had to go through the quarantine after the Bangladesh government imposed new rules on travellers coming from the African nation, where several cases of Omicron variant of the Covid-19 had been detected.
Nadel Chowdhury, the chairman of BCB’s women wing, has announced that the BCB women’s wing will be undergoing a 14-day quarantine.The team was originally scheduled to depart the hotel on December 6th, after having completed their five-day mandatory quarantine.
