Due to the rising number of coronavirus cases in India, the IPL has also shifted its home base and will be held in the UAE. But with the pandemic in mind, safety has become the topmost priority for all. And adopting the same methodology used by the England Cricket Board recently, IPL players will be living within bio-secure bubbles. The <keyword id="9963751" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="biosecure-bubbles">biosecure bubbles</keyword> for the IPL will be created by the same company that did it for the ECB – Restrata. According to <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/top-stories/uk-based-company-to-build-ipl-bio-secure-bubble-in-uae/articleshow/77646079.cms">reports</a>, Restrata even beat Indian conglomerate Tata Group for the bid as the latter had asked for almost double the money. Restrata would be tracking all the players through an app or a finger ring with a chip, <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/top-stories/uk-based-company-to-build-ipl-bio-secure-bubble-in-uae/articleshow/77646079.cms">reports</a> suggest. And before you imagine a huge futuristic bubble inside which the players will be staying - well, no. That is not what it is. What is a bio-secure bubble? A bio-secure bubble simply refers to an environment that is being created by completely cutting off the outside world. So, for the IPL players and crew, travel will be very strictly limited to only the cricketing venue, the hotel they are staying in, and a few other places. No visitors from outside the bio-secure environment will be allowed to enter and even cricketers won’t be allowed to leave the space. It also means that strict action will be taken against those who do break the rules, as it puts everyone's safety at risk. England bowler Jofra Archer, who will be playing with Rajasthan Royals, had to stay away from a match during the recent England vs West Indies test series for having breached the bio-secure bubble. He had to be immediately quarantined. <div type="image" title="csk players" msid="78199477" hostid="261"></div> The pandemic impact: Living in a bio-secure bubble Several cricketers have also said that life within a bio bubble isn’t that easy. <keyword id="9963752" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="cricketer-shikhar-dhawan">Cricketer Shikhar Dhawan</keyword> even said that it feels like living inside a Big Boss house.

We are not here to have fun and roam around and you know that ‘I want to hang out in Dubai’. That is not the time we are living in,” he had said.

Delhi Capitals request BCCI for COVID-19 vaccination of their Indian players

<keyword id="6355117" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="south-africa" source="Orion">South Africa</keyword> could be in the fray to host the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League (<keyword id="6354312" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="ipl" source="Orion">IPL</keyword>), according to a newspaper report on Thursday. The report said that Sri Lanka could be a backup venue option if the third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword> doesn't end by early April. In 2021, the 14th edition of the IPL in India was suspended after May 4 due to the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic breaching the bio-bubbles of various teams. The remainder of the tournament was then played in the United Arab Emirates (<keyword id="6358356" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="UAE" source="Orion">UAE</keyword>), with Chennai Super Kings winning the final on October 15 in Dubai. "We can"t be dependent on UAE all the time so we decided to explore more options, South Africa's time difference also works out well for the players," a <keyword id="6354756" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="BCCI" source="Orion">BCCI</keyword> official was quoted as saying in The Indian Express. With the addition of two new IPL teams in Lucknow and Ahmedabad, the 2022 edition of the IPL will be very long. If the move happens, it will be the second time South Africa would host the IPL after the 2009 edition was shifted there due to the general elections in India. What has helped build South Africa's case is that they gave the Indian team, currently in the country for a three-match Test series followed by an ODI series of as many matches, good hotels and resorts where they are staying in a bio-secure bubble environment. The Indian team stayed at the Irene Country Lodge for the first two Test matches and are currently living in The Taj Hotel in Cape Town. "The place where the team was staying for the second Test is spread over several acres. There were walking tracks and even a pond on the property and that has made things easier for the players who for the last couple of years or so have been confined to their rooms on several overseas tours," further said an official. Incidentally, India's tour to South Africa was under huge uncertainty due to the Omicron variant causing a surge in cases in the Rainbow Nation. Eventually, the tour dates were rescheduled and the T20I leg shifted to a later date. But with cases coming down in South Africa, it could be an ideal destination for IPL to take place if the third wave in India continues into April 2022.

His campaign got over after Bengaluru FC failed to make the semifinals. The team's last game was on February 25, which Chhetri played and also scored a goal. Bengaluru FC were placed seventh on the table at the end of the league stage. The former champions logged 22 points after winning five matches, drawing seven and losing eight games.

As part of the preparation for the two matches against Oman and UAE, the national team is scheduled to assemble for a preparatory camp in Dubai from March 15.

According to a report in ESPNcricinfo, the 32-year-old will take a charter flight from Mumbai to Dubai, from where he will fly to Sydney on December 13 and be available for selection for the last two Tests of the four-match series. Upon reaching Sydney, Sharma has to undergo a mandatory quarantine of 14 days in a facility separate from the bio-secure bubble in which the Indian Test squad is currently in, the report further stated. The BCCI had informed about the decision to add Sharma to the squad for the Australia Test series after initially excluding him from the tour due to the hamstring injury. "The BCCI Medical Team has been monitoring Rohit Sharma's fitness and has briefed All-India Senior Selection Committee on the same. In consultation with Sharma, it has been decided to rest him for the ODIs and T20Is in Australia to regain full fitness and he has been included in India's Test squad for <keyword id="10339645" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="the-border-gavaskar-trophy">the Border-Gavaskar Trophy</keyword>," the BCCI said in a release on November 9. India captain Virat Kohli, who himself will return to India after the first Test in order to be his wife for the birth of their first child, had said that there had been no clarity on the injury of Sharma. "Well, before we had the selection meeting with selectors in Dubai, we were told that he (Sharma) is injured and unavailable for selection and it mentioned a line that there is a two-week rest and rehab period (they had to undergo). It said that the pros and cons and implications of the injury have been explained to him and he understood that, and he was unavailable for selection and that is the information we got on mail before the selection meeting," Kohli had said before the start of the ODI series. "After that, he played the IPL so we all thought he will be on that flight to Australia which he wasn't on...we had no information on the reason why he is not traveling with us and after that, the only other information we received on mail is that he is in the NCA and he has been assessed," he added. The first Test of the four-match series starts at the Adelaide Oval from December 17.
