Baber he’ll survey another option for players training soon but he has personally met some players in the last few days.

‘I visited some of them in the last couple of days to make sure they are doing some of their home training which we have given them and hopefully at this stage we are able to bring more together  and then we’ll look to put them into their local camps where we can get them fully back to training’.

Full training sessions remain a grey area at the moment and FRU Chief Executive John O’Connor says it’s something they’ll have to check with the relevant authorities.

‘And we looking at clarification on what we can do but for the time being we are just asking the players to their own training and upload the videos everyday which the coaches and S&C coaches look at’.

Meanwhile, the next tournament in the World Series is the postponed Singapore 7s which will be held in October.
