Elaborate celebrations won’t be possible and in any case – Sourav Ganguly

The three-match ODI series between India and West Indies will be played behind closed doors due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, the BCCI president Sourav Ganguly in an interview with PTI has said that there won’t be any elaborate celebrations during the 1000th ODI because the BCCI needs to maintain the Covid-19 protocols.

“No, nothing as such as everything is being held in the bubble. We have to maintain the COVID-19 protocols so yes elaborate celebrations won’t be possible and in any case matches are being held closed doors,” Ganguly told the PTI.
