LAHORE: Pakistan's bowling coach and former captain Waqar Younis is concerned about the mental health of players as they endure isolating bio-secure bubbles to play cricket internationally or domestically in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Waqar said that he is worried that players in Pakistan might face mental health issues if cricket continued to be played for more time in the COVID-19 situation.
"It is not easy for players or officials to spend so much time in the bio-secure conditions and it could eventually affect their mental health," he warned.
Players, while competing, are being completely isolated from their surroundings in bio-bubbles to negate the risk of infection. Agencies
