A bio-secure environment or bio-bubble is planned to prevent the spread of coronavirus (Covid-19). With bio-secure venues for cricket matches, the international cricket Council (ICC) and its member boards are aiming to minimise the risk of transmission of the virus from one person to another during an ongoing tournament or bilateral series. The 14th edition of the indian Premier League was indefinitely suspended midway after several members from various franchises tested positive for the Covid-19 virus. The potency of the IPL 2021 bio-bubble came under the scanner after the breach. So, why were the bio-bubbles not secure this time and why was there a change in the bio-bubble managers as compared to the UAE? Here is bcci president Sourav Ganguly's explanation of the same.
When reporters asked bcci president sourav ganguly why was the IPL biosecure bubble breached, he responded that a 'post-mortem' will have to be done and that he was not sure of the reasons. However, he did suggest that travelling could have been an issue. Ganguly said that the IPL 2020 was restricted to three venues and within a limited area, whereas the IPL 2021 had six different venues. Moreover, with the situation so grim in the country, he said things were getting out of control for everyone.
