The activities in the country are starting little by little. The government has decided to partially open the offices. The sportspeople are also seeing the light of hope in this. 

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) officials are preparing to open the office after the effects of the coronavirus have subsided, report agencies.

Divisional managers are holding regular online meetings under the leadership of BCB CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury on this matter. 

If the government resume sports then offices will be opened partially, said Nizamuddin Chowdhury. In that case, the BCB office may be open from the first week of June.

The Ministry of Youth and Sports suspended all sorts of sports in the country by issuing a notification on 16 March. BCB suspends Dhaka Premier League on 18 March. 

Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla Stadium lockdown was announced before the announcement of the public holiday. Field workers and security personnel are working at the stadium, but officials are doing their work through online. 

Apart from communicating with other cricket playing nations, the concerned are also in regular contact with the International Cricket Council [ICC].

In this regard, the BCB CEO said that they are holding meeting at the operational level regularly. They are also in contact with ICC and board directors of member countries. They are also working on the measures they will take after everything starts to resume again.

"Everything is going on. We are holding a meeting regularly at the operational level. We are holding meeting with the ICC. There is also liaison with the concerned board of directors. 

Whoever is given whatever responsibility, he does it through online. We are working on the measures to be taken after opening the office. 

In particular, the medical department of the BCB has been given the responsibility of formulating protocols to ensure health safety. The concerned department is doing that," Nizamuddin Chowdhury was quoted in a Bengali daily.

According to a reliable source, there is no rush to open the BCB office. They will take initiative after receiving instructions from the government. 

Although the BCB office opened in June, it could take August-September to start the game. Although it is late to return to the field, the BCB's pre-preparation is showing hope.
