WTC Final: Virat Kohli and team to get 20-day bio-bubble break after New Zealand game

The Indian team management said it will be a welcome break as the team has to not only spend time in the bio-bubble for the Test series against England, but will also straightaway move to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 bubble in the UAE post the Test series.

While the cricketers will disperse on June 24, they are set to return to the bio-bubble for the five-Test series against England around July 14. Speaking to news agency ANI, sources in the know of developments in the team management said it will be a welcome break as the team has to not only spend time in the bio-bubble for the Test series against England, but will also straightaway move to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 bubble in the UAE post the Test series. “The group will head off for the break on June 24 after the final against New Zealand and then regroup again around July 14 to prepare for the Test series against England which gets underway from August 4,” the source said.
