The Bengal Cricket Association (CAB) has made eye-checks mandatory for under-23 and senior team players when they camp again after the lifting of restrictions related to Kovid-19. This is the first time that eye screening of players will be made mandatory in domestic cricket. This was decided during a discussion between the cab administration and the coaching unit of the Bengal cricket team.
It was raised in the meeting that the ability of the eyes of the players is affected by being away from cricket for a long time. CAB president Avishek Dalmia said, "Eye ability and flexibility are two important elements in cricket. That is why (head coach) Arun Lal suggested that the test should be made mandatory. If there is a problem in someone's eyes, then we can solve it. '
Former India wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta also called it a welcome move as 'cricket is also a game of hands and eyes'. The former Bengal captain told PTI, "When you return to the field, you want to check the ability of the eyes. There is nothing wrong in this." Often it becomes 19/20 instead of 20/20 and you don't even know. In such a situation you may have trouble seeing the ball properly. '
