Sunrisers Hyderabad has announced that all-rounder Jason Holder and the team’s new signing Sherfane Rutherford arrived today in UAE before the resumption of the second phase of the 2021 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Holder and Rutherford were playing in the recently concluded Caribbean Premier League (CPL) and will just have to undergo a two-day quarantine before joining their team’s bio bubble, as specified by the country’s rules in regards to travel restrictions for different countries. Unlike others, they won’t have to undergo a six-day isolation period and join the team, which will be good for their team. The bubble to bubble transfer also means that they do not have to quarantine for the same number of days.
The big man from the Caribbean is here 🧡
