    ENG vs WI: West Indies cricketers depart for England

    The West Indies cricket team departed from Antigua, on Monday, for a three-Test tour of England. Reportedly, the entire touring party tested negative for COVID-19. However, the West Indies cricket board said in a statement that coronavirus tests will be conducted again upon the team's arrival at Old Trafford in Manchester. The squad will be quarantined for three weeks. Here is more.

    West Indies to follow bio-secure protocols

    As per the bio-secure protocols, the movement in and out of the venues will be restricted. Notably, a group of reserve players will travel to train and help prepare the Test squad, ensuring replacements are available in case of injury. The players will live, train and play in a bio-secure environment, as part of comprehensive medical and operational plans.

    "On arrival into Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester, the whole touring party will be tested again for COVID-19 as they begin the seven week tour where they will live, train and play in a "bio-secure" environment, to ensure player and staff safety," the statement read.
