However, the ICC release doesn't specify the duration of hard (room) quarantine in Southampton. For the New Zealand team, ECB made it a three-day mandatory room quarantine before allowing the players to train. Regular tests will be conducted during the period of isolation. The Indian team will enter UK after completing 14-days in a bio-bubble in Mumbai with six RT-PCR negative tests. Some of the players like R Ashwin, Mayank Agarwal, Washington Sundar are now allowed to use the hotel gymnasium from May 25 after a week-long room quarantine and three negative tests. However, a few like skipper Virat Kohli, his white-ball deputy Rohit Sharma, all of whom joined late will have a complete room quarantine before boarding the UK flight.

They have been provided with gym equipment inside their rooms. In the UK, players' activity will be allowed in a gradually increasing manner after each round of negative testing, moving from exercise in isolation to small group and then larger squad activity, whilst always remaining within the bio-secure venue. The New Zealand team will move from the ECB bio-secure environment into the World Test Championship Final bubble on June 15 and will be subject to regular testing prior to and post-arrival in Southampton.
