He also said: “We at least need throwers, net bowlers for practice from the host country. They will not provide that and they will not allow us to take throwers and net bowlers from our country.”

It is mentionable that, SLC insisted that the touring team would require a 14-day long strict quarantine at the hotel and also that the team should not be more than of 30 members including the coaching staff.
