Experts stressed on the need to strike a balance between bio-security bubbles and the avoidance of "excessive" mental health costs to the players
Cricket Australia medical experts have found that stress associated with strict bio-secure bubbles have "cumulative impact" on players' mental wellbeing and said there is a need to strike a balance to avoid "excessive" mental health toll.
According to a report in the Sydney Morning Herald, CA's mental health lead Matt Burgin and chief medical officer Dr. John Orchard made the observations in an article for the British Association of Sport and Exercise Medicine.
"The stress associated with competition hubs may have had a cumulative impact, and it is possible that the negative effects were experienced weeks and months after the event," they wrote.
