A potential bio-security environment breach might have occurred during the practice session of Mohammedan Sporting Club on 04 May 2021 for the Bangabandhu Dhaka Premier Division T20 also called Dhaka Premier League. The Bangladesh Cricket Board and the Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis (CCDM) have initiated a joint investigation in this matter.
CCDM Chairman Kazi Inam Ahmed said that it’s disappointing that such an incident has happened. He further added that the BCB and the CCDM have taken the matter very seriously.
“We are disappointed to note this incident. Both the CCDM and the BCB have taken this very seriously. The health and safety of our teams, players and officials are most important to us. We have invested a significant amount of finances and efforts to make sure the BSE protocols are in place including the best possible accommodation and logistics. This incident is being looked into and necessary actions and further precautionary measures will be taken,” Ahmed said.
The Mohammedan Sporting Club wasn’t scheduled to play a match on Friday (June 4, 2021) in the Dhaka Premier League. However, the team members had a practice session that particular day while the skipper of the side Shakib Al Hasan was practising at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.
