There was no bio bubble/isolation it seems, just a letter in beginning of series from bcci to be careful/use judgement which doesn't clearly tell what to do/not to do. Still Sastry should have avoided the book event if he used his judgement.
Heard that cry baby Kohli was the one who chickened out and not willing to play. Initially bcci was open to idea of kohli "resting" if he wasn't comfortable but then knowing Kohli, he must have persuaded others to not play so he doesn't come across as bad (just my assumption based on way things played out). Sad state of affairs if that is the case.
Also read that the next year's replacement test will be a one off test if it happens, so wouldn't be a decider for this series.
Wow...you seem to have all the insider info. Amazing!!
Did Kohli call you and informed you that he was chickening out?
Shame on all the people here who are bad mouthing BCCI and the Indian players. Just goes to show how insensitive people can be. Stuff happens. Shastri didnt catch the virus on purpose. In these times, the least people can do is be sensitive to such things.
There have been cases in the Indian camp and they dont want to play. Period. Deal with it!
