Williamson and Co. placed in bio-secure mini-bubble in Delhi
New Zealand Cricket board on Friday, on 7th May, confirmed that a few of their players have stayed back in Delhi and they will leave for England on 11th May. The NZC has made arrangements for the creation of a bio-secure mini-bubble, in which skipper Kane Williamson along with Kyle Jamieson and Mitchell Santner and physio Tommy Simsek have become part of.
“New Zealand's IPL-based Test contingent will depart from India for the United Kingdom on 11th May - the earliest date an exemption for their arrival in England could be obtained. Williamson, Jamieson, and Santner, as well as physio Tommy Simsek, will remain in a secure mini-bubble in New Delhi before departing for the UK,” the NZC said in a statement. The four will leave for the UK for the two-Test series against England, and the World Test Championship final against India.
NZC also confirmed that paceman Trent Boult will return home briefly to see his family before reconnecting with the Test squad in early June, “possibly in time to be picked for the second Test against England but certainly in time for the WTC final.” Boult will leave India on Saturday on 8th May.
“Along with the balance of the New Zealand-bound IPL players, support staff, and commentators, Boult is scheduled to depart New Delhi tomorrow on one of two charter flights, arriving in Auckland on Saturday before undergoing managed isolation.
