Afghan cricketers resume training amid coronavirus pandemic

NEW DELHI: Top Afghan players, including star all-rounder Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi, resumed training, on Sunday, with the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) beginning a month-long camp despite the rising coronavirus cases in the country.

According to information shared by the Board, none of the players attending the camp are being tested for COVID-19 but only those who haven't shown any symptoms like fever, have been allowed to join.

"This camp will be held under the relevant health guidelines and in close coordination with the ICC, WHO and the ministry of public health of Afghanistan to avoid the spread of COVID-19," an ACB media release said.

On Saturday, a COVID-19 awareness meeting was held for players and other relevant officials at ACB head office to educate them about health guidelines to be maintained during the camp. Agencies
