Eight England players who were part of IPL reached UK, to undergo a 10-day quarantine

Eleven England players who were part of the ongoing season of IPL are slowly and steadily reaching at their home after the cash-rich league was suspended for an indefinite period of time.

As per the latest development, eight players including the likes of Jonny Bairstow, Jason Roy, Chris Woakes, Tom Curran, Sam Billings, Sam Curran, Moeen Ali, and Jos Butler have reached home and they will be serving mandatory 10-day quarantine and will undergo two tests during this period.

While Eoin Morgan, Chris Jordan, and Dawid Malan will be flying back home tomorrow. As soon as the confirmation of the suspension due to players from three separate franchises reporting positive cases inside their bubbles arrived, there was a rush to book flights back to London.

Meanwhile, Chris Jordan admitted that once the cases started approaching inside bio bubble which the former felt was safe, the postponement of the tournament was inevitable.

“These are tricky times, you see the news and you hear things that are happening and it’s a real shame to see what the people in India are going through,” he told PA news agency.

“You monitor the situation on a daily basis and everyone has done everything possible to keep the bubbles secure. I would say I’ve felt safe the whole time here; they have so many things put in place and precautions being taken. The next step now is getting out safely and I’m sure they’ll see to that as well, but it might take another day or two.

“Obviously the last couple of days some new cases came to the fore, a couple of bubbles were breached, and that kind of thing starts to dominate conversations. It was always going to be difficult to continue and I think in the end the right call was made so people can get home to be with their families and look after loved ones,” he said.
