There are just a few hours left for IPL 2020 to begin. A big news has come out before this. For the first time in the history of IPL, it will happen that not all the players of the team will go to the stadium from the hotel, but only the selected players will be allowed to go to the stadium with the team. In view of the corona virus epidemic, the BCCI and the IPL committee are complying with the TAMAN rules to create social distancing.

According to the new information, when the IPL team goes from the hotel to the stadium for matches in the UAE, they will be accompanied by the same people who will join the team hotel’s bio bubble, which will include two waiters. Each team will travel in two buses. In India, the team used to travel on the same bus, but due to Corona, it had to be changed. The officials who will be involved in the match will also remain in this bio-bubble. Explain that each team has a team of 22 to 25 players. ADVERTISING

A source from the UAE told the news agency, “On the match day when the team leaves the hotel for the stadium, only 17 players and 12 coaching / support staff members will be involved in the two buses. Also two waiters and two logistic people Will be involved. Those who will be part of the bio-bubble in the team hotel will be able to travel on the bus with the team. You can use only 50% of the capacity of the bus here. “

He further added, “Every person associated with IPL in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, whether Indian or of any other nationality, will have to undergo the Corona Test every sixth day. These people include stadium staff, pitch / ground staff and tournament The rest are connected. ” The BCCI had already confirmed this in its protocol. Even in Quarantine, all players and members underwent 3-3 corona tests after arriving in the UAE.

Let me tell you, in UAE, especially in Abu Dhabi, the protocols related to Kovid-19 are quite strict and IPL teams will have to accept them. Significantly, 13 members including 2 players from Chennai Super Kings were found infected with Corona virus after reaching UAE. After this, physiotherapists of Delhi Capitals were also found positive in the Kovid test. At the same time, a member of BCCI’s medical team also turned out to be Corona positive.

Due to Corona virus epidemic, this time IPL is being conducted not in India but in UAE. Due to this epidemic, there is a ban on the arrival of spectators in the stadium. The first match of the 13th season of IPL will be played on 19 September at the ground of Abu Dhabi between the defending champions Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. This match will start at 7:30 pm according to Indian timetable.
