Ahmedabad, Apr 27 (IANS): The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) CEO, Venky Mysore, on Tuesday allayed concerns about the safety protocols inside the bio-secure bubble, saying they were 'unprecedented'.
"The protocol and safety features that have been built into the bio-secure bubble are unprecedented, and I think it couldn't have been any better. Everyone is being properly taken care of," asserted Mysore.
Lauding the gesture of his team's Australian player Pat Cummins -- who donated US $50,000 to the PM Cares Fund for the fight against Covid-19, Mysore said it was a "class act" from the cricketer.
"As I have already put out, it was a class act from Pat. The sentiments of the KKR management are pretty similar to what Pat has articulated. I think we are privileged to be in a position where we are able to do what we really enjoy doing," Mysore said.
On Monday, KKR pace bowler Cummins became the first cricketer to contribute to the Covid-relief fund to help Indian hospitals "buy oxygen supplies".
KKR's wicketkeeper-batsman Tim Seifert also lauded Cummins's initiative, saying, "It was a fantastic gesture from Pat. A message from the entire KKR family to everyone out there -- just want to say stay safe, be smart, sanitise your hands and wear masks. Our prayers to help everyone out there, in India and around the world."
