The players will be extra happy as they have the support of their family, including their little bundle of joy.
Team India men's and women's cricket teams arrived in London on Thursday (June 3) and straightaway travelled to Southampton where they will be based for a week.
They will undergo a mandatory 5-day quarantine before they go out and train. While the men's team will remain in Southampton for the World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand, the women's team will travel to Bristol where they will play the one-off Test against England starting June 16.
So as the team stays at the on-site hotel at the Hampshire Bowl, they are accompanied by their families. The players will be tested again before commencing a period of managed isolation. Regular tests will be conducted during the period of isolation.
The players will be extra happy as they have the support of their family, including their little bundle of joy. A look at some kids who have gone to England to cheer their dads.
