Kirti Azad in favour of postponing IPL 2021 amidst COVID-19 cases in the camp
By MYBRANDBOOK
Amidst the disastrous wave of COVID-19 Indian Premier League (IPL) is going on with full swing. It was well protected inside IPL’s water-tight bio bubble until some cases broke out on May 3. KKR’s two players are tested positive. Also, members of non-playing staff tested positive from CSK. Moreover, five groundsmen of DDCA tested positive. Amidst so much chaos, the former Indian cricketer Kirti Azad has given his opinion.
According to him, the IPL should be postponed as soon as possible keeping the player’s safety in mind. The former cricketer has questioned BCCI’s intent to carry forward the league amid such a terrible situation in the nation.
“I thought they were in a bubble and safe from everything and entertaining cricket lovers and the country. It’s very unfortunate that you are getting Corona positive cases being in a bubble. Obviously, that means, there has been a security lapse. So, it’s really appalling that this is how things are going at the moment. If this is the case that came out. It should be stopped,” Kirti Azad told news source.
Varun Chakravarthy and Sandeep Warrier from KKR while CSK CEO Kasi Vishwanathan, bus cleaner, and bowling coach Lakshmipathy Balaji have tested positive. Also, five groundsmen of DDCA have tested positive. Azad believes that it is beyond imagination to what extent the infection could have gone. Generally it takes 6-7 days to detect the infection in normal course and players are not just safe, Azad reckoned.
“For six days, you cannot detect any corona infection. It’s only on the 7th day that you come to know. So, obviously seeing what has happened with KKR players and CSK staff, there has been a security lapse and what we thought was a very safe zone, isn’t one,” Azad concluded.
Due to the KKR players testing positive for the virus before the match, the RCB KKR clash got postponed in IPL 2021 and the new dates for the same are yet to be announced.
