"Taking into the account the restrictions on air travel and movement of people till May 31, the BCCI will wait further before organizing a skill-based training camp for its contracted players," the statement further said.

Earlier, the BCCI had mentioned that they were doing their best "to keep the players in best mental and physical health."

Dhumal said the board would continue to monitor the guidelines across states and "work in sync with State Cricket Associations" to create programs for skill-based training at a local level. The BCCI will continue to stay in touch with the team management and try to draw up a plan for the contracted players as the situation improves.
