  • Those wanting to attend the captains’ media conferences in person, need to present a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 48 hours of the interactions

The Captains’ Day media interactions are being held via a hybrid model, allowing a limited number of journalists to attend in person with others invited to join remotely. Those joining remotely, please ensure you login ahead of scheduled times of media interactions.

Media wanting to attend in person need to produce proof of a negative COVID-19 test result conducted within 48 hours of the media conferences. This is an event requirement and as per direction of ICC’s Biosafety Scientific Advisory Committee (BSAC) to ensure the safety of all participants. The ICC has arranged for these tests free of cost.

To attend the media conference/s in person please email your request to media@icc-cricket.com by 10h00 local time on Wednesday. If you are successful, we will confirm your attendance for the media conference/s and will organize for you to be registered with the COVID-19 testing suppliers if you wish to avail of the free facility. Please indicate clearly in your e-mail the interactions you wish to attend and whether you want us to arrange for your test.

Once registered you will receive an email with instructions on how to complete the sign-up process, please note the process can take up to 12 hours. Once completed you will receive a QR code which you will need to present at the testing center prior to your PCR saliva test, this QR code will be valid for all future testing at the Event.

Test results will take approximately 24 hours, so please take that into consideration and email at the earliest confirming which media conference/s you would like to attend.
