The League finals are being played and the season has gone by without any player contacting the virus which is a huge testament to our commitment towards the well being of our players. Very soon we will tie up with a medical institute to do health check-ups for all registered players as health today is the priority.”

CAB Hony Secretary Snehasish Ganguly said: “Today is also celebrated as Doctor’s Day. We are happy to announce that health camps for the players would be organized soon like every year to make sure that they are in prime condition when the next season kicks off. We are very happy to have completed the season without any incident.”
