India's squad to Sri Lanka to quarantine in Mumbai from June 14

They will be tested regularly before departing for Colombo on June 28

The second-string Indian squad for the Sri Lanka series will assemble in Mumbai from June 14 to undergo a two-week quarantine. ESPNcricinfo has learnt that the members of the Indian contingent have been asked to take a Covid-19 test before they reach the team hotel in Mumbai, where they will undergo regular testing during the two-week period.

On Friday, the SLC issued a media release stating the Indian squad would train in smaller groups between July 2-4. Between July 6 and 12, the entire squad will be free to train before the ODI series, which begins from the 12th. All six matches in the series, comprising three ODIs followed by equal number of T20s, will be played under lights at the R Premadasa stadium in Colombo.

The last two ODIs will be on July 16 and 18 with the T20 series on July 21, 23, 25. The Indian squad would return home on July 26. This is India’s first tour in Sri Lanka since Rohit Sharma led them to the Nidahas Trophy in 2018.
