Xtra Time Web Desk: In what comes as a huge relief for the Indian cricketers, hours before they depart for a tough tour to England, they will not have to lead a bio-bubble life after the completion of ICC World Test Championship Final starting on June 18 at Southampton. Both the India men’s and women’s team will be travelling to UK on June 2 in the same chartered flight.

The development comes as a huge relief for the players who have been allowed to accompany their family members. “The bubble will be go (after WTC final) and we will be free of the restrictions,” a member of the Indian team told Cricbuzz.

“There is no need for a bubble in England. If required, we will enter a bubble before the Test series starts (on August 4),” he added.

India will take on England in a five match test series starting from August 04. The Indian players have been allowed to live in a safe environment until the start of the test series. They might have to re-enter a bio-bubble ahead of the test series.
