Sunday Times: Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) needs an exit strategy to get the national team back into physical training hampered for nearly six weeks by curfews imposed to flatten the COVID-19 curve. And it is now preparing for a residential camp – to take place during or after the country’s restrictions are lifted – as a contingency plan.
A group of experts, including coaching staff and doctors, made the proposal which takes into account all safety and medical advice given by the Government. What is envisaged is a 14-day residential training camp in a five-star hotel in Colombo where players could use the gym and swimming pool facilities.
The attendees will go through PCR testing before the programme starts. This would require them to check-in three days prior. They will also undergo two tests to see whether or not they are infected. Till then, they will have to adhere strictly to prescribed social distancing protocols. The procedure will be followed till the end of the residential camp before they depart. The cycle will be repeated when the next training bloc starts.
