Meanwhile, the board would also look for a new physio if the incumbent Thihan Chandramohan, who met with an accident earlier this month, failed to return back to duty soon.

Reflecting on the same, Chowdhury revealed that Chandramohan is in hospital at the moment and that the board would wait for the appropriate time for him to return.

"He is in the hospital so we will wait for the appropriate time for him to join. We will have to look for a new physio only when he informs us whether he is unable to join the team," he concluded.
