London, June 4: India captain Virat Kohli joined his teammates Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Wriddhiman Saha to post his image from the Ageas Bowl stadium in Southampton after arriving in England for the long cricket season in the United Kingdom.
Kohli took to his Instagram handle and shared an image of himself from the balcony of the stadium where the Indian cricket team will face New Zealand in the World Test Championships Final, starting June 18. The 32-year-old could be seen wearing a black t-shirt and even added a heart-eye emoji in his Instagram story to express his feelings about the venue.
After their arrival in Southampton, the Indian men's and women's team started their quarantine. Kohli and his band are looking forward to finishing off their hard quarantine and then start training ahead of the WTC Final against New Zealand. Meanwhile, the women's team will take on England in a one-off Test before playing ODIs and T20Is.
Taking to Twitter, BCCI posted a video of the travel from Mumbai to Southampton and wrote: "Excitement is building up as #TeamIndia arrive in England."
Speaking in the video, spinner Axar Patel said: "It has been wonderful. First two hours watched a movie and then slept for six hours. Now having breakfast. Planning to get into quarantine after reaching. As of now, we are told we cannot meet each other for three days."
Batsman Cheteshwar Pujara said both he and his daughter slept really well on the flight. The video showed almost all the members of the contingent as they moved around inside the chartered flight.
The World Test Championship final 9 (WTC Final) has now been granted an exemption by the UK government as outlined in The Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel, and Operator Liability) (England) Regulations 2021, released on May 17.
"As per the bio-safety protocols established for the event, in line with UK government and Public Health England requirements, the Indian Men's team will arrive in the UK on 3 June 2021 via a charter flight and carrying evidence of a negative PCR Test," ICC had said in an official release.
At the Hampshire Bowl, the players were tested again before commencing a period of managed isolation. Regular tests will be conducted during the period of isolation. Players' activity will be allowed in a gradually increasing manner after each round of negative testing, moving from exercise in isolation to small group and then larger squad activity, whilst always remaining within the bio-secure venue.
