IPL 2022: Three-day quarantine rule to be followed by teams before entering the tournament

PL 2022 Protocol document

Before entering the IPL 2022 bubble, teams would have to go through a strict three-day quarantine period. This comes after the statement released by the governing bodies of the Indian Premier League.

Moreover, after the 3 days of isolation, all the members will go through a Covid test. If the test results turn out to be negative, only then will the match commence.

Apart from this, the teams will also be subjected to three RT-PCR tests during their quarantine period, followed by another 3 till day 6, with each test taking place 24 hours apart.

The Indian Premier League protocol document states

“After the completion of three days (72 hours) of quarantine, the test will be done on fourth day. Once the negative report comes, the participant can enter the bubble,”

That clause, however, would not apply to anyone entering the IPL from another bubble – bilateral series, franchise preparatory camp, domestic competition, national camp – as long as they commute by charter flight or by road. Several players will enter the IPL bubble after playing in bilateral series in March – April, notably India’s trip to Sri Lanka, Australia’s visit of Pakistan, England’s tour of the West Indies, and Bangladesh’s touring of South Africa.

If the competitors escape the previous bubble, they must undergo a three-day quarantine and pass the exam on day four before entering the IPL bubble. Before entering the quarantine, all participants in India would have to undergo twin testing in the preceding 48 hours. It would be two tests in the prior 72 hours for international participants.
