The document, accessed by PTI, states that every franchisee’s medical team should obtain the “medical and travel history of all players and support staff” since March 1 this year. “All Indian players and team support staff must undergo two COVID-19 PCR tests, 24 hours apart, in the week before assembling in the franchises’ city of choice,” it states. “...if both test reports are negative, he/she may be allowed to fly out to the UAE.”The rule will apply to all the overseas players and team support staff as well. Therefore there will be more vacant areas at the stadium and hence the dressing room does not have to remain within the traditional area. “Venue Cricket Operation teams should consider using appropriate areas beyond the normal dressing room,” the SOP states.
