COLOMBO, July 6: Sri Lankan cricketers will head straight into a bio-bubble ahead of their limited-overs series against India after landing back from England, where the players they competed against have been quarantined following a COVID-19 outbreak in the team.
India and Sri Lanka are due to square off in an ODI and T20 series starting July 13.
“The Sri Lankan team will reach Colombo today itself and enter another bubble after one round of RT PCR test. Even after completion of tour on Sunday, the team had an RT PCR test in UK before boarding the flight,” a Sri Lanka Cricket official told PTI.
“Since the India series is starting in a week no one is going home. It’s bubble to bubble transfer. However, if anyone tests positive, usual protocol of testing and isolation would follow,” he added.
This was after seven members of the English team tested positive for the virus on Monday. (PTI)
