    Reportedly, both the squads will have to undergo a mandatory six-day quarantine upon arrival on January 27.

    It is interesting to note this will be the first international assignment hosted in India following the COVID-enforced break.

    First two Tests to be held behind closed doors
  • Recently, the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) informed its members that the first two Tests at the MA Chidambaram Stadium will be played behind closed doors.

    In the circular, TNCA secretary RS Ramasaamy notified the members that the decision has been taken keeping in mind the prevailing COVID-19 situation.

    Earlier, the BCCI was contemplating regarding 50 per cent crowd attendance for Tests.

    Teams to stay in an exclusive hotel under bio-secure environment

  • According to a report in ESPNcricinfo, the BCCI has booked a hotel exclusively for both teams to ensure a bio-secure environment.

    The players can stay with their families, however, no member can step out of their rooms during the initial six-day quarantine.

    It is understood that the teams can use the swimming pool at the hotel, once the mandatory testing process gets completed.

    The quarantine is going to be strange: Root
  • Speaking on the same, Root said it would be "strange" to be locked in a room for nearly a week.

    "It's going to be strange. We've got to be quite realistic: we are going to have seven or eight days with no cricket now, with six days in quarantine," stated Root.

    "Then we'll have three very important days of preparation ahead of the series."

  • Information

    Teams can't exit the bubble during the series

  • It is understood that teams and families can't exit the bubble during the series, and would need to restrict their movements between the hotel and ground. Notably, the TNCA has created three zones to demarcate boundaries for all stakeholders.

  • Series

    First international series to be hosted in India during pandemic

  • As stated, this will be the first international series hosted in India during the pandemic.

    The four-Test series is part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC).

    While India remain the front-runners to clinch the qualification berth, the impending series will decide the fate of England.

    Interestingly, England were the last side that won a Test series in India (in 2012/13).
