“We are thankful to the Honourable Chief Minister Smt Mamata Banerjee, Chief Secretary and Government of West Bengal for announcing the resumption of sporting activities as well as for allowing 75% of the capacity of spectators back to the stadium.
We feel that it will give a fresh lease of life to the sportspersons of the state.
It may be recalled that CAB had organised a T20 match against New Zealand successfully in November 2021 with players and support staff in a bio-secure environment and with seventy percent cricket lovers in attendance.
This time too, CAB is confident that it will be able to successfully host the three T20 international matches against West Indies in a similar manner.
Moreover, it may be mentioned that CAB is also looking forward to resuming local cricket tournaments at the earliest following covid guidelines and protocols.
In fact, CAB has taken proactive steps to vaccinate all the players above the age of 15 years who would be participating in the CAB Leagues.
In this regard, it may not be out of place to mention that CAB had already organised an onsite vaccination camp at Eden Gardens recently where the first doses of vaccines were given to players in the age bracket of 15 to 18.
CAB is now making best endeavors to organise another camp so that such players can avail the second doses as well before the commencement of the league.”
