Instead of playing their one-off Test match in Bristol, the Indian women’s cricket team will instead quarantine in Southampton, where they will join the men’s team for their month-long series.

The captain of the Indian national cricket team, Virat Kohli, and his vice-captain, Rohit Sharma, will leave India on Sunday after enduring a seven-day hard quarantine, and they plan to hit the gym for a full workout upon their return.
