The women cricketers were part of the team that went to Zimbabwe to take part in the Women’s World Cup Qualifier, which was called off in the midway due to high infection rate of the Omicron variant.

The cricketers returned home via Oman and put in quarantine, two of them were found positive with Omicron variant.

They were the first case of Omicron variant in Bangladesh.
