Two Cricketers from Women's Team Affected with COVID

After the qualification round for the 2022 Women's Cricket World Cup was called off midway due to an outbreak of a new strain of Covid-19 known as omicron, the Bangladesh women's squad returned home on December 1.

The cricketers went directly to Hotel Sonargaon after arriving in Dhaka to serve a five-day quarantine.

Two of those cricketers, however, have tested positive for Covid-19, and it is suspected that they have got the omicron version of the virus after returning from Zimbabwe.

The situation has been validated by the Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) medical department. Those two cricketers have isolated themselves.

The rest of the team is staying at the hotel. However, the identities of those two cricketers remain unknown.
