New Zealand speedster Trent Boult has stayed in the quarantine and bio-secure bubble during the recently-concluded Indian Premier League in the UAE. However, he believes that the idea of staying in bio-secure bubbles in the future due to the global pandemic novel coronavirus is going to play an important role for cricketers to plan their schedules for the international series.
Boult is the new addition who opened up on life in bio-secure bubbles and having to live out of a suitcase and being quarantined constantly even if during home tours, referring it as "a big sacrifice".
"Yeah, I think it's going to be a tough one to forecast. Having experienced three and a half months away from my young family," Boult told ESPNCricinfo.
"I have two young boys and a wife back home whom I haven't seen - so you can imagine it's a big sacrifice to just pack up and leave for a quarter of the year and looking at potential tours next year, there's potential to be away for nine to ten months. I can't speak for everyone but it's definitely going to play a big role in the game," he further added.
Trent Boult, however, said that the current situation of the world 'almost surreal' but also added that it was great to return on the field as well.
"Having to come back to New Zealand you have to spend two weeks in a hotel before you can even be let out. It's crazy what the world is facing at the moment, it's almost surreal, and it's going to be a hard one to say what guys are feeling and what they're able to do. Speaking from playing in the IPL I've just been to, it's brilliant to be back out on the field and offer something for everyone to watch and it was closely followed all around the world," he concluded.
Boult has tested a fair share of success in the recently-concluded IPL 2020 where he played for Mumbai Indians – the team that won their record-fifth title under Rohit Sharma’s leadership.
