The RR team management confirmed that Steve Smith and others immediately went into isolation after reaching the UAE.
Dismissing any confusion regarding an extended quarantine, the official said that the six-day quarantine rule in Abu Dhabi applies to only those who travel by road from Dubai.
RR heaves a sigh of relief after clarity regarding the availability of players from England and Australia
The quarantine period of English and Australian players travelling to the UAE had been a cause for confusion over the last few days. The IPL governing council put an end to all the speculation, confirming that the players coming from the UK would need to undergo only a 36-hour quarantine.
RR will be relieved by this development since players from both these international sides form the core of their contingent.
While most of the players reached the UAE and completed a lengthy quarantine, the players from England and Australia reached the venue only on Thursday, after completing a bilateral series in the UK.
The allowance regarding isolation rules is due to the fact that they are coming straight from the bio-bubble created for the bilateral series.
