During the fourteen days of quarantine, you will not be able to practice, you will not be able to leave your hotel room. Due to such strict rules, Bangladesh has to cancel the Sri Lankan tour even after fixing everything. However, the health of the island nation changed during the England team.
Sri Lanka will play a two-Test series against England in January. The game will be created by creating an organic safety zone at the Galia International Stadium.
However, England’s national team need not remain in quarantine after arriving in Sri Lanka. Instead, they will do the 14-day quarantine from England.
Ashley de Silva, executive director of Sri Lanka Cricket, said the England team would arrive in Sri Lanka 11 days before the start of the test series and play a preparation match. They will arrive on January 3. The first test will start on the 14th. The second test will start on the 23rd.
He added that they do not have the opportunity to play a preparation match with any local team in Sri Lanka. However, they will play a two-day preparation match.
England will enter the security zone after the country’s 14-day quarantine. Everyone’s PCR will be tested before entering the security zone after arriving on a chartered flight, ” he added.
The series was scheduled for last March as part of the World Trials Championship. Joe Root’s team also went to Sri Lanka to play the series. However, at that time, when the coronavirus epidemic took shape, they returned to the country without playing the series.
Sri Lanka also postponed the series of three tests with Bangladesh scheduled for August. The series was supposed to take place in late October with the consent of the two boards. Although all the plans were carried out in this way, the Lanka sent strict hygiene rules to the BCB.
Even after the country was quarantined, Bangladesh was asked to go to Sri Lanka and remain in quarantine. Upon arriving in Sri Lanka, England had a chance to practice and play matches with each other, but Bangladesh was told not to leave the hotel room for 14 days. The BCB did not agree to send the team in accordance with these strict rules.
