Due to the pandemic situation, the whole team of West Indies landed in the UK in the mid of June. However, they were very comfortable while traveling and were also quarantined for 14 days.

“We had a lot of Zoom meetings between the players, CWI and ECB prior to being presented with the decision to come on this tour. Throughout those discussions, we were assured and reassured on the protocol which would be in place. Based on the extensive measures, we were comfortable coming over and no player had to be forced,” Holder said.
