It has been learnt that the employees have been asked to “work from home” with all the cricketing operations already being suspended till further notice.
“The BCCI employees were today (on Monday) notified that the headquarters at the Wankhede Stadium will be as good as closed in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic. All the staffers have been advised to work from home,” a top source from the Board said.
“However, if someone still wants to come, they can,” he added.
It has been learnt that the National Cricket Academy (NCA) has also stopped its various zonal camps even though rehabilitation programmes at the Bengaluru centre was still on as on Monday.
