“We’ve had negotiations with the Ministry of Health, and they’ve agreed to give us 50% of the spectators,” Arjuna stated ahead of the competition during a press conference. “There is a new variety [Omicron], but it makes no difference because we always follow the health recommendations. Spectators who have been doubly vaccinated for at least two weeks are needed.”

“Moving from place to venue could pose a challenge,” Arjuna remarked. “During the IPL, this was a concern, though it was mainly due to the fact that several teams had to fly to different stadiums. But we’re optimistic that we’ll be able to keep the bubble safe.”
