Indian cricketers like Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Umesh Yadav have been seen enjoying some quality time with their respective WAGs regularly after the conclusion of the limited-overs leg of the UK tour. The wives and girlfriends (WAGs) of the Indian cricketers have also been spotted cheering for their partners during the matches in England. While actress Anushka Sharma has been leading the WAGs brigade for cheers in the stadiums, Kohli has been flooding the social media with the picture of him with Anushka.
However, it looks like those pictures, dinners, and outings are expected to have to be restricted for a month or so as the cricketers have been asked to have to stay away from their partners. According to the reports of Mumbai Mirror, the team management has informed the players that no wives and girlfriends will be allowed in the camp before the third Test.

The report further also suggests that the unwinding process of the players ended on Sunday and the team has moved towards Chelmsford from London, where they will play a four-day practice game against Essex. The practice match will begin on Wednesday.
One of the sources of Mumbai Mirror said, “We’ve had four days of rest before settling down for the serious task ahead. The players had moved out with spouses, friends and relatives and tomorrow (Monday) we will leave for Chelmsford.”
According to the Mirror report, the team management also opted to have India A players with the national team for some help in the nets. However, they decided against it keeping in mind the upcoming Quadrangular series that also involves sides from Australia A and South Africa A.
