The BCCI is monitoring the situation very closely and is working with the government authorities to make arrangements to get you home once the tournament concludes. Be rest assured that the tournament is not over for BCCI till each one of you has reached your home, safe and sound," he wrote on Tuesday.He also pointed that the bio-bubbles are being further strengthened with an eye on the coronavirus situation.
