All the 12 teams will stay in a hotel, where a bio-bubble with strict pandemic rules will be created. This will minimise the risk of players getting infected with Covid-19 during the season. However, it will be difficult for players to stay in a bubble for so long.
“The biggest challenge will be to accommodate training sessions for the 12 teams. Besides this, we will also have to find ways to isolate our players from other teams so that there is no passing of information and tactics. We have started discussions to overcome all of these things,” an official from another PKL team said.
