Saha questions IPL bio-bubble efficacy, says the tournament was better off held in U.A.E.

“There was not a single individual during our training in U.A.E (last year), not even a ground staff,” he said.

Seasoned wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha has indicated that the bio-bubble for IPL-14 was not as foolproof as the one in U.A.E last year, becoming the first Indian player to publicly question, even if subtly, the tightness of the controlled environment. The 36-year-old Saha was among the players who contracted the dreaded virus before the IPL stumbled to an abrupt halt midway into its 14th season after multiple COVID-19 cases were reported in its bio-bubble. During an interview with PTI, Saha spoke about the bio-bubble breach in India and said it would have been better if the IPL was held in UAE, like last year.
