‘’We have decided to send him to Dubai considering there is no quarantine rule in place unlike England and Australia,’’ BCB chief physician Debashish Chowdhury told reporters on Friday.

A close source of BCB told Cricfrenzy that he is expected to have his operation on December 8 and would be eyeing to make him available ahead of the upcoming home series against West Indies.
