The two teams are possibly to gather in Mumbai for a two-week quarantine on 19 May, although there were talks and supposition on Monday that the cyclone on the west coast may lag their arrival. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was considering 19 May and 24 May as the dates for the cricketers to gather in Mumbai before departure. While the Indian men's team will play six Test matches after the World Test Championship final against New Zealand from June 18 and five Tests against England from August 4, the women's team will play a one-off Test in mid-June, three ODIs and three T20Is. According to a report in ESPNCricinfo.com, 'the 20 players in the men's Test squad, excluding those residing in Mumbai, will start their quarantine at the team hotel from Wednesday'. It added that the 'rest of the squad and members of team management residing in Mumbai, including captain Virat Kohli, his deputy Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, and head coach Ravi Shastri, will enter the bio-secure bubble at the Mumbai team hotel from May 24'. On reaching England, the teams will undergo a 10-day quarantine.More Related News
