Members of the Indian cricket team could assemble in Mumbai either on May 19 or May 24 to undergo quarantine before their departure to England on June 2 by a charter flight.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

There has been a talk of the players assembling in Mumbai on May 19 and serving a two-week-long quarantine period. But it has been learned that the Indian cricket board is also mulling an option of having players in Mumbai on May 24 for a week-long quarantine in a Mumbai hotel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"The two dates are being discussed and final decision will be taken in the next few days,<\/strong>" said a source in the know of things. The team will travel on a charter flight. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is may also get the players tested at their homes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Indian players and staff will also have to undergo quarantine for 10 days after arrival in England since India is in the 'red' list of Covid-affected countries. They will have to undergo tests during the quarantine, including on or after the eighth day of quarantine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Virat Kohli's team then gets about four days of practice ahead of the World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand, starting on June 18 in Southampton.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The team will stay on for one-and-a-half months without any competitive matches before the five-Test series against England gets underway on August 4 and lasts till September 14.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

As per the plans, the team will have two four-day intra-squad practice matches only and no warm-up games with any county team due to the strict bio-bubble norms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The venues for the intra-squad practice matches will be announced soon. The WTC final takes place in Southampton while the Test matches will be played in Nottingham, London (Lord's and Oval), Leeds, and Manchester.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2021\/05\/england-bound-indian-cricketers-to-assemble-in-mumbai-soon-for-quarantine.jpg", "alt_img": "Cricket Image for England-Bound Indian Cricketers To Assemble In Mumbai Soon For Quarantine", "alt_title": "England-Bound Indian Cricketers To Assemble In Mumbai Soon For Quarantine", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "England-Bound Indian Cricketers To Assemble In Mumbai Soon For Quarantine On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Members of the Indian cricket team could assemble in Mumbai either on May 19 or May 24 to undergo quarantine before their departure to England on June 2 by a charter flight.
