Why Williamson spoke about the Corona situation in Bangladesh. |
New Zealand is one of the few countries that has had success
in fighting the coronavirus. Although Kiwis are tax-free, the situation in many
other countries is not good at all. That is why the New Zealand tour of
Bangladesh to play two Tests in August has been postponed. However, Kiwi
captain Ken Williamson already knew the situation in Bangladesh from Tamim
Iqbal.
Williamson is working with UNICEF to raise awareness about
coronavirus. The New Zealand captain spoke to the media after forming a new
partnership with UNICEF. There he said in the context of Bangladesh. Before
talking about the situation in Bangladesh, the New Zealand captain said about
his country's success in Corona. New Zealand may have had success. But if you
look outside, many countries are still infected with the virus. Where there is
a lack of basic things like soap and water. '
Bangladesh is one of the countries that Williamson is
talking about. Williamson is in touch with many cricketers outside the country.
As part of that, he had an online chat with Tamim last month. The Bangladesh
ODI captain knew how difficult Bangladesh was going through. The Kiwi captain
said, 'I had a long talk with Bangladesh ODI captain Tamim Iqbal a few days ago
through Zoom. I understand how difficult the situation is in his country. In a
country like Bangladesh, it is really difficult to keep the virus away by
following proper hygiene rules.
Of course, Williamson already has an idea about the weather
in Bangladesh. When he came to Bangladesh to play in a two-Test series in
October 2013, he understood how difficult the condition was for them. 'The
condition in Bangladesh is very difficult. When I first visited Bangladesh (in
2013) to play Tests, I will not forget the heat and humidity of that time.
Williamsons had another chance to visit Bangladesh. It was
no longer possible due to coronation. Last week, the Bangladesh Cricket Board
(BCB) decided to postpone the series.
