In the previous IPL, we saw that the players did not follow the hygiene rules, many of them were infected with the coronavirus. And the IPL was postponed. Even in the Sri Lanka series, the Indian players did not follow the hygiene rules. How do players get infected with corona while in bio-bubble? If the players do not follow the hygiene rules then there is no benefit in spending extra money for the bio bubble of the boards. Players who break the rules should be punished.

What happened in the IPL was partly due to the fault of BCCI was well. After Varun Chakravarthy exited the bio-bubble, they allowed him to re-enter without any quarantine requirement. And he infected at least a dozen others inside the bubble. What happened was that the IPL management had asked KKR to put Varun in quarantine for one week. But KKR refused and since the KKR owner was very influential, the BCCI granted an exemption to Varun (the same happened with PSL as well, with the Peshawar Zalmi).

The BCCI should have forced everyone to abide by the rules. If they can't force everyone to obey the rules then there is no need to do bio bubble in every series. They don’t punish players. Players are also reluctant to bio bubble. So now the BCCI should punish the players who break the rules so that no one breaks the rules in the future.

The broadcasters and cricket boards are going through a really hard time. The government spends crores of rupees to create the bubble, but it keeps happening and it always happens to the right person. It's strange that no rule will apply to a particular team. Krunal Pandya is in my prayers, but if there is no investigation, how can we be sure no further incidents will occur to any of the other members? BCCI took a completely wrong move.

It is not the government, but the cricket board (SLCB in this case, and BCCI during the IPL), which sets up bio-bubbles. So the losses will be incurred by them. That doesn't mean that the government will not lose any revenue. The tax revenue will be lost in case a tournament is called off. The decision by the BCCI to move remainder of the IPL to UAE cost the Indian government tens of millions of USD in tax revenue. At this time, both the boards and the players need to understand that just one mistake from their part can result in huge losses for everyone.

Sri Lanka banned players for two years for breaching the bio bubble in England and Indian cricket board will not do anything about it is strange. It is their decision on what to do with the players but still, no punishment what so ever for infecting others is bullshit.

The Pandya brothers are someone with good political connections. A few weeks ago, Deepak Hooda announced that he was quitting the Baroda team. During the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament, he had a well publicized spat with Krunal (who was captaining the Baroda side). Hooda complained to the Baroda management, but they stood with Krunal. The BCCI is even refusing to allow an investigation to find out how Krunal got infected inside the bio-bubble. Their reaction would have been different, if it was some lesser known guy, such as Gaikwad or Rana.

The situation is highly unpredictable nothing is stable for this virus. Those countries that were reporting a decline in cases have again started reporting an increase.  The worst is that players are also not cooperating with the authorities. If these tournament does happen in the coming months then ICC, as well as BCCI both, have to be very strict with Bio bubble.
If they were strict with the bio-bubble, then this situation would have never happened in the first place. The BCCI lacks a spine to reign in on their players. I thought that they would be more careful, after they suffered huge losses due to the postponement of the IPL. But I was wrong. The same mistake is being repeated. The IPL is set to be resumed next month, and I am sure that once again we are going to witness a string of bio-bubble breaches. The same will happen with the T20 world cup as well. The players behave as they wish and there is no one to control them.
BCCI has to learn from its past mistakes unfortunately, they are not. What kind of professionalism do these players have who have got infected due to the virus. They are not playing charity match but an International match where they are representing their country. I am not sure about T20 because ICC will be handing it but, I am pretty sure more such cases will happen during the IPL.

Everyone inside the bio-bubble was tested for COVID after Krunal turned out to be infected with the virus. And none of them were found to be carrying the virus. So it makes no sense to claim that the virus spread through air and infected only Krunal. Two other Indian players got infected, but these two were close contacts of Krunal. Everyone knows what happened, and it is another topic that the BCCI will not take any action against him.

Is anyone watching the Olympics? Brandon Starc may get a medal in high jump. He is the younger brother of Mitchell Starc.
I am not following the Olympics but if the younger brother of Mitchell Starc is that talented it is great to hear and one medal for Australia.

How you say the players aren't in control. The virus spreading happens mostly through touch and through air. Each and every player is vaccinated, there is no cent percent effect on vaccine. There are people and players with asymptomatic, so that even if the virus is there no symptoms can be found. Now there is nothing to point out someone is wrong and right.

The so called experts are expecting a third wave which will be much serious than the situation we have seen till now and i am wondering how these players who are in a so called secure bubble is getting infected left and right, i am not living in a bubble for the past two weeks and i am going out and till now i am doing good even though i am careful while i am interacting with people.

Krunal will be available for matches only after testing negative, while the players who were in close contact with him are in room isolation. Today we have the third and final T20I match of the series, and it will be very difficult for the Indians to prevent series win by Sri Lanka (right now the series is tied at 1-1). I don't really care about the outcome, as in T20 there is no league structure unlike the case with ODI. I am getting worried about the upcoming tournaments - IPL and T20 World Cup. If the COVID situation remains like this, then these tournaments will be called off.

So this tournament will also halt, if that is the case it will be a huge disappointment because they had similar issues in the IPL and now in the Sri Lankan tour as well.

From the news only one player is tested positive but what about the other players whom he had contact, are they quarantined and will not be available for selection but the report says that they all test negative.

For now, the other players have all tested negative. But the problem is that they need to remain in isolation for at least one week, because the incubation period for COVID is quite lengthy. If the players are infected and they are in the incubation period, then they may return false negative results. Now I don't know whether the Indian team has enough healthy players to play the next game. It is hugely frustrating for the cricket fans. We waited for so long to watch some live action, and now we are getting this.

@Sithara007 as I had shared in the other thread team India used their reserve bowlers to continue this series, and I feel for all future tournaments this is the blueprint they’ll play secondary player’s but from now on the tournaments will continue. Also there’s nothing much to do, because this is how covid works and now I’m used to it but I’m hoping future series will have zero cases.

Getting worried about the Indian players in Sri Lanka. 8 of them are in mandatory isolation as a result of the positive COVID test returned by Krunal Pandya. 5 of the isolated players are said to be in high risk category, since they were in close contact with Krunal - Devdutt Padikkal, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Krishnappa Gowtham and Ishan Kishan. I am really getting tired of these COVID-related disruptions. This has been the case for the last one and half years and doesn't looks as if it is going to end anytime soon.
Don't worry bro.. Indian cricket team always very strong and they have enough strong players in the side bench. Krunal, Hardik and others would in isolated that a major concern I f worries but I am sure they would be winner...

*STOP NOWHERE*
An experienced spin bowler and an experienced opener are very much needed for ODI and Test formats. The West Indies have a lot of T20 specialist batsmen but very few experienced and patient players in their squad. You can't call any of their batsmen bad. But they are not suitable for ODI and Test format. They are talented, if they work hard they will probably be able to adapt to the test format.

With West Indian players in such high demand around the world (top players such as Pollard and Russell easily makes $3-$4 million per year by taking part in franchise T20 leagues), I don't think that they will be much bothered about longer versions of the game. And I wouldn't blame them. T20 is the future of cricket and test cricket is becoming obsolete (still the ICC has difficulty in admitting this). In fact, I would credit the T20 format for reigniting the popularity of cricket in West Indies. There was a time, when the popularity of the game was going down steeply. T20 has saved the cricket in West Indies.

I think the main reason for the inexperience of the West Indies players in the Test format is their poor management. If the board wants, they can make the cricketers more experienced. With almost all West Indies players playing in different franchise leagues throughout the year, they become experienced in only one format. The board should ensure that players can become experienced in both ODI and Test formats. They can organize a league like Ranji Trophy.

I agree with you on this point. If the West Indies board takes the right steps, their players will become more experienced. And if they host a league like the Ranji Trophy, the players will have plenty of opportunities to play Test matches and build themselves up to be more experienced. There is no other option without hard work to be experienced in the test format. As well as being talented, you also need to work hard.
