Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) head coach Dexter Toppin says he is happy the players have bought into the social distance practice sessions at Kensington Oval in preparation for the forthcoming West Indies’ tour of England.

Speaking to MIDWEEK SPORT at the Oval yesterday morning, Toppin said he was happy to see the cricketers embrace the daily schedule which limits sessions to three players.

“It is something different. It is something we have to live with and buy into it because it is something that is here at this moment and we can’t really take chances,” he said.

“Most of the guys feel uncomfortable doing things in the field with a mask on their face because it is something they have never done before, but all in all, they are getting through it and I have not had any complaints.”  (MK)
