READ | In UAE for IPL, week’s quarantine the first challenge for playersA total of 17 Australian and 13 England players are scheduled to take part in IPL 2020. England will host Australia for three ODIs and three T20Is from September 4 to 15. This move to exempt the players from quarantine would allay the worries of franchises over the availability of their overseas players in the first week of the tournament. “If IPL Governing Council is not satisfied with the strict adherence to the travel protocols by any of the players, all players will have to quarantine for 7-days and undergo 3 RT-PCR tests before participation in IPL matches,” the note reads. Many IPL teams have already reached Dubai and are undergoing the mandatory quarantine period of seven days.
