Speaking to Times of India, BCCI secretary Jay Shah said “If I am not wrong the bio-bubble for IPL 2022 was the last. For Ind-SA series onwards, players would be tested (for Covid), but will not be any bio-bubble.”
On being asked about the IPL bio-bubble, he said “Yes, it is tough for players. However, they have a family-like atmosphere inside the hotel bio-bubble. In case of IPL, we had hotels dedicated for each team. The while tournament was held at one place. All the teams had their lounges, recreational centres. So, they also enjoyed it.”
Meanwhile, BCCI have given many major players much-needed rest ahead of a long tour of England. The likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah will not be playing in this series. KL Rahul will lead the team, whereas the likes of Umran Malik and Arshdeep Singh are likely to be handed their debuts.
