An official of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said on condition of confidentiality, ‘The Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is similar to the IPL bio bubble.

Players will spend this time exercising in their rooms under the supervision of optimization experts Nick Webb and Soham Desai. Apart from this, the BCCI has allowed the players to keep their families with them as they may have to remain very secluded during the tight isolation.
