The Indian team will take on New Zealand between June 18 and 22. After arrival, Axar Patel, in a video released by the BCCI, revealed that the team will serve a three-day hard quarantine before it is allowed to train at the Ageas Bowl ahead of the final.
"We have been told that we can't meet each other for three days so we will be quarantining for that much time," said Axar in a video posted by BCCI capturing the team's journey to England via a charter flight.
The men's and women's squads were in the same flight. After landing in London, the contingent took a two-hour bus journey to Southampton.
Following the summit clash, India will play five Tests against England, starting in August.
