India’s limited-over squad, under the captaincy of Shikhar Dhawan, will be undergoing qarantine from June 14 to 28 and undergo six RT-PCR tests on alternate days before flying off to Colombo for the limited-overs series  series against Sri Lanka, scheduled to be commencing on July 13.

Some of the recent reports suggests that all the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that will be followed by the Lanka-bound squad will be same as those of the Test team currently in the United Kingdom for the World Test Championship final and five-match series against England.

As per the quotes in PTI, a BCCI source privy to development said, “All the rules will be same like we followed in England. The outstation players will come by charter flight and some fly business class of commercial airline. They will do seven days of room quarantine and then can meet in common areas inside the bio-bubble. The players will do gym sessions in staggered manner.”

While the three-match ODI series starts on July 13, it is expected that Indian team will have match simulation practice (situational training) after individual sessions, following three days of room quarantine at the team hotel in Colombo.

The source further explained, “It will be just like what’s happening in England. Match situations will be created and that’s how the intra-squad training will be held. You can’t have your main players get out off the first ball and not bat again or bat for the whole innings. Everyone needs training so it won’t be practice games as such.”
