India could begin practice after 3-day hard quarantine in England

The Indian cricket team touring England may be asked to undergo only a three-day hard quarantine before being allowed to practice in a bio-secure environment during isolation ahead of the World Test Championship final in Southampton.

The roadmap could be similar to what New Zealand is following on arrival in England for their Test tour that comprises a two-Test series against host from June 2 as well as the WTC final against India from June 18.
 
Apart from the WTC final, India play five Test matches against England in August-September.
 
India depart from Mumbai on June 2 and will undergo a 10-day isolation period, details of which are not yet clear since there has been no official intimation from the BCCI.
 
However, it is understood that discussions between BCCI and England and Wales Cricket Board have been going on and since most India players are already in bio-secure bubble in Mumbai with others joining over the next couple of days. New Zealand were asked to undergo a mandatory three-day hard quarantine before being allowed to practice in groups of six.
