The provisions in the chartered plane will have to satisfy the Medical Officer from the BCCI who will then allow the players to enter the bio bubble of the franchises.  The report further stated that if chartered flights are used then all protocols for crew members must be followed. "If the travel arrangements are to the satisfaction of the BCCI Chief Medical Officer then such players will directly enter the franchise team Bubble without the need to serve a quarantine period or undergo an RT-PCR test,” added the board to a famous website.

The BCCI will reportedly create 12 bio bubbles out of which eight will be the franchise teams and support staff and a couple of them for the match officials and the remaining will be for the broadcast team and the crew members.
