DHAKA (Bangladesh): The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) will carry out a drive to vaccinate its players against the coronavirus by the end of February so the domestic tournaments can restart, the board said on Thursday.
Apart from two small events last year and the current tour by the West Indies — which were held in strict bio-bubbles — all play has been suspended since March.
The BCB has ruled out resuming cricket at all levels until all players are vaccinated with the jabs to top 500 players has been decided.
The board did not mention how it would get the vaccines.
BCB president Nazmul Hassan is also chief executive of Beximco Pharmaceuticals, which has signed a deal to procure 30 million vaccine doses from India for the Bangladesh government.
