As the Coronavirus-led pandemic has forced people to avoid massive social gatherings, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) came up with an ingenious idea for conducting cricket trials to recruit fresh blood to the team. According to recent reports, the BCB is now taking trials of aspiring cricketers over the popular messaging app, WhatsApp to reduce social contact between players and coaches.
As per the reports, the BCB recently ordered for the creation of three official WhatsApp groups for taking trials of the future cricketers. Each of these three groups is for players of a certain age group. So, the three groups will entertain the players who are under-14, 16, and 18.
After the selection of the initial participants from their respective videos, the selected players will then have to go out for a proper in-person trial on the grounds. And from this stage, the players will get the chance to join and train with their district or division teams, which usually consist of 15 players.
