Pakistan players are adjusting well to the ‘bio-bubble’ in Karachi where the squad members are being provided with the best facilities as opposed to their recent tour of New Zealand. Many are currently with their families.

The members of the squad have separate waypoints designated for walks while a separate lift is being used as well.

According to details, the cricketers are enjoying the bio-bubble of their own country as opposed to the jail-like quarantine they had to face in New Zealand. The families of seven players and officials are also with the side.

The Pakistan squad and South Africa squad are residing on different floors. A path on the side of the swimming pool is being used when departing or arriving on the hotel premises. Breakfast is served in a buffet while lunch or dinner has to be ordered in the rooms.

Hotel personnel that come into contact with the respective squads have been made an actual part of the bio-bubble itself to negate issues or breaches. The personnel change the bedsheets and handle the cleanliness of the rooms where the players and officials are currently residing. The staff was made a part of the bio-secure bubble after extensive testing for the coronavirus to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

The players involved have been made a part of the bio-bubble after clearing their respective tests and are therefore allowed to visit each other’s rooms. The squad members however are not allowed to leave their rooms without a mask.

A room has also been designated for the entertainment of the selected squad members. The squad members from either side are yet to meet each other in person since both sides have been kept on different floors.

With their families in tow and a comparatively relaxed atmosphere, the players are facing no issues with the bio-bubble.
