BCCI decided to continue IPL Matches ... do you agree or not? Why? - Page 4

The situation in India is very alarming and now the burst of bio bubble, the news of 2 players' COVID-19 positive report, the players are now jittery to continue playing. 

This season, 29 IPL matches have been played so far. All the matches have been organized in a bio-secure environment, with many restrictions imposed for players' safety.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently enacted more stringent rules regarding bio-bubble protocols. Instead of the Covid-19 test every five days, all players were asked to get tested after every two days.

@anisharoy1 and @ Nichuss,  thanks for sharing your valuable views.🤗

India is reeling under a deadly second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, the IPL continues in a bubble of its own, with its players and administrators seemingly oblivious to the calamity unfolding around them. 

Almost all of India is reeling, with its healthcare infrastructure in shambles, and its funeral grounds overwhelmed, calls to halt the tournament have escalated in recent days, spurred on by this contrast. Predictably enough, defenses of the IPL have also emerged. 

“It is misguided moral outrage to call for an end to the IPL amid the pandemic,” argues a recent editorial in the Indian Express.

Many are arguing that for a few hours of escape to people under stress is to be a killjoy bent on planting a flag on the moral high ground.

Another powerful argument that the IPL isn’t offering people respite, it’s milking a captive audience, imprisoned indoors by the pandemic, for advertising money. 

Now it is a discussing point in social media, many are supporting the continuation of IPL, and an equal number of people are questioning it on moral grounds. 

Friends, here is the news--- 

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has suspended the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 for the time being after several players and support staff tested positive for COVID-19.

The decision comes close on the heels of Monday's IPL 2021 match between the Kolkata Knight Riders and the Royal Challengers Bangalore in Ahmedabad being rescheduled after the Knight Riders' spinner Varun Chakravarthy and seam bowler Sandeep Warrier tested positive for Covid-19.

According to IPL Governing Council members, the decision was taken after Amit Mishra and Wriddhiman Saha too tested positive on Tuesday. Multiple BCCI officials and the franchises too confirmed the development.

I hope it's just a week suspension .

They might try to reset the bubble and complete the matches in doubles headers .

Good choice considering the way COVID is spreading.

Round of applause to them.👏

Cheers.....

Nothing is safe. Not even the bio bubble and IPL is indefinitely postponed. Gonna miss the matches but safety first is the right decision as more teams are impacted… 

Good decision by BCCI

I am so happy the IPL got suspended .

So many cricketers test positive .

They have nit reveal how many staff and crew members must be positive too . this second wave is truly deadly . I hope they all recover soon 🙏
