BCB was initially reluctant to prepare a roadmap for individual training due to the players’ health issue in aspect of the spread of COVID-19 despite the fact some of the other cricketing nations already began it in their respective countries.
But after a virtual meeting with 35 players, the board decided to begin the individual training that was largely decorated with fitness drill. The bowlers didn’t get the chance to bowl as they were left satisfied with just running and doing gym. The batsmen, however, got the chance to bat but at the bowling machine at indoor facilities.BSS
