A satellite image showing a Wing Loong drone in Harar Meda base, south of Addis Ababa įlight charts and satellite images show aircraft recently arriving from Sweihan Base in Abu Dhabi, UAE, to Harar Meda base, just south of Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa. The UAE has carried out the extensive operation with the support of two private shipping companies: a Spanish firm which organised 54 military-support flights between the UAE and Ethiopia in less than a month, and a Ukrainian one which organised 39 military cargo flights in two months. The investigation found that between September and November, there were more than 90 flights between the UAE and Ethiopia, with many intentionally concealing from where they took off and where they landed. So, they would then fall under the SOPs for the tournament as put together by the BCCI, with only border-checks regulated by the authorities as teams enter or re-enter Abu Dhabi.Satellite imagery obtained by Al Jazeera has revealed that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has opened an air bridge to provide extensive military support to the Ethiopian government in its fight against forces from the northern Tigray region. The emirate's rules are the same as they have been for a while now, but by the time the IPL starts, the mandatory 14-day quarantine would be over for anyone who had reached the UAE in the third or fourth weeks of August. Sections of the media have said that the Abu Dhabi government has granted special permission to the teams - and others involved - to move in and out of the city, but that might not be the case.
We sanitise the entire facility before the next team arrives, everything is freshened up and sanitised for the next team.
Social distancing norms are in place, sanitisation norms are in place. "One team comes in first and trains for a while, two-three hours, and the other comes in after that. It's a strict facility, where only the players and the teams' support staff are allowed in. "Once we receive those four test reports, the government approves the teams to expand their quarantine facility to outside the hotel with a very strict passage from hotel to bus and bus to Abu Dhabi Cricket. And they return to hotel and utilise the team rooms, and they come back to the airbridge facility the next day," Matt Boucher, CEO of Abu Dhabi cricket, explained to ESPNcricinfo. It's a 15,000 square-metre extension of their quarantine, a place for them to have full-fledged training session. "They have been training there since the eighth day of being in Abu Dhabi, so that's seven days of training in what we call the 'airbridge facility'. A 15,000 square-metre area, with 15 nets, has been cordoned off at the stadium for the two teams (to use one at a time), along with an 11,000 square-metre football field for physical training.ĪLSO READ: CSK's coronavirus-free players set to start training on September 4 Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders have been training since day eight of their arrival in the UAE, despite Abu Dhabi's 14-day quarantine requirements, thanks to an "expanded quarantine facility" at Sheikh Zayed Stadium. Whatever the reasons for that delay may be, it has "nothing to do with the Abu Dhabi border or the quarantine restrictions", according to a local cricket official.Īs it happens, training is in full swing for the two teams based in Abu Dhabi thanks to the "airbridge facility". Less than three weeks to go for the scheduled start of IPL 2020, and there's still no sign of the final schedule for the tournament.
