Life inside bio-bubble is uncomfortable, feel Nazmul
|| CF Correspondent ||
Bangladesh opener Nazmul Hossain Shanto said that he is finding it difficult to cope with the strict restrictions of living inside a bio-bubble but added that he is trying his best to gradually adapt to it.
Cricketers entered the bio-bubble health safety net from January 20 ahead of their Sri Lanka tour for the proposed three-match Test series.
The players, coaching staff and officials check in at Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel in the capital for the residential camp that started from Sunday.
BCB already booked two floors of the hotel to accommodate the cricketers and the supporting staff for the tour while the board officials insisted that the hotel staffs who are expected to work with the team will be living in a separate dormitory.
BCB officials also confirmed that they have tested the drivers who are expected to drive cricketers’ team bus from the hotel to the ground.
‘‘It’s very difficult. Specially giving samples for corona testing every two-three days is very uncomfortable. Inserting the kit inside the nose, giving swab makes me uncomfortable. And who would want to be in quarantine!’ said the 22-year old.
‘I don’t feel good staying inside such security. But there is nothing we can do about it. So I am trying to slowly adapt to the situation because we have to train and play like this,’ he added.
Nazmul is one of the 16 cricketers who are taking part in the skill training camp at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium and he completed his fifth day’s training with the group on Thursday.
