The players’ families are also part of the bio-secure bubble, hence their movement has also been restricted. However, the family members have been allowed to watch the match.

According to the protocols issued by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had allowed the families of the players to stay in the bio-secure bubble with them.

Earlier, on October 20, Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, who is also the wife of Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik, had joined him at the national team’s bio-secure bubble.

Apart from Malik, the families of Imad Wasim, Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Rizwan, Muhammad Hafeez, Hasan Ali and coach Saqlain Mushtaq are also accompanying them in Dubai.
