The Bangladesh Cricket Board’s (BCB) bio-secure bubble for the ongoing Dhaka Premier League (DPL) 2021 has been reportedly breached on Friday (June 4). The BCB has begun its investigation into a possible bio- bubble breach at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.

The bio-secure bubble was reportedly breached on Friday during a practice session of Mohammedan Sporting Club when their captain Shakib Al Hasan was having a batting session at the indoor facilities of the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.

The BCB and Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis (CCDM) is “disappointed” with the incident and investigating the entry of an outsider during the training session, though, the identity of the person is yet to be unknown at the Shere Bangla National Stadium.

Kazi Inam Ahmed, CCDM Chairman said in a BCB media release: “We are disappointed to note this incident. Both the CCDM and the BCB have taken this very seriously. The health and safety of our teams, players, and officials are most important to us.”

He added, “We have invested a significant amount of finances and efforts to make sure the BSE (bio-security environment) protocols are in place including the best possible accommodation and logistics. This incident is being looked into and necessary actions and further precautionary measures will be taken.”

Noteworthy, the BCB had already announced before the start of the DPL 2021 on May 31 that any breach may lead to a fine, suspension or even point deductions for the club.
