BCA suspends training camp for first-class players

Vadodara: The Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) has suspended its training camp for the Ranji cricketers.
The decision was taken on Saturday after brother of one of the Ranji probables tested positive for Covid-19.
The association said that it is taking all precautions to ensure that none of its players get infected with the virus.
“We have suspended the training camp for two weeks after family members of one of the cricketers was detected positive for Covid,” said Ajit Lele, BCA secretary.
The association had started training camp for Ranji cricketers at Motibaug Ground last month.
Thirty cricketers were undergoing training sessions in the batch of 10 each and care was taken to maintain proper social distance among the players.
The BCA, though, kept training camps of junior cricketers and women players suspended even after the lockdown ended.
BCA officials said that the training camp was started to ensure that the senior cricketers remain fit ahead of the Ranji season. “But with Covid-19 virus spreading across the city, the camp may remain suspended for a longer time now,” a BCA official said.
BCA had to recently conduct its annual general meeting (AGM) online and seek votes by postal ballots after some of its members raised the safety issues due to Covid pandemic.
