The CAB president also said the board is also looking forward to resuming local cricket tournaments at the earliest following COVID guidelines and protocols.

"In fact, CAB has taken proactive steps to vaccinate all the players above the age of 15 years who would be participating in the CAB Leagues," said Avishek Dalmiya

"In this regard, it may not be out of place to mention that CAB had already organised onsite vaccination camp at Eden Gardens recently where first doses of vaccines were given to players in the age bracket of 15 to 18," he added.

CAB is set to organise another camp so that such players can avail the second dose as well before the commencement of the league. (ANI)
