The Sri Lanka Cricket Board (SLC) has announced that 50 per cent of crowd capacity will be allowed during the upcoming Lanka Premier League.
"We have had discussions right along with the Ministry of Health, and they have agreed to give us 50% spectators," Arjuna De Silva, the head of SLC's medical committee said at a media briefing ahead of the tournament.
"There is a new variant [Omicron], but that is immaterial, as we always follow the health guidelines. We are asking for spectators who have been double vaccinated for at least two weeks."
De Silva admitted that moving from venue to venue is a bit of a problem.
"There could be a problem when moving from venue to venue," Arjuna said. "That was the problem faced during the IPL, though that was also because many teams had to fly to different venues. But we're confident we can keep the bubble secure."
The tournament is slated to begin on December 5 where Galle Gladiators will be up against Jaffna Kings in Colombo.
