Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah opened about the bio-bubble fatigue that cricketers are facing during the Covid-19 pandemic after New Zealand thrashed Men in Blue by 8 wickets in the Group 2 match of Super 12 stage of the ongoing ICC Men`s T20 World Cup. A bio bubble is a cordoned off area for players and staff in a team to protect them from being infected with Covid-19. With months of playing franchise and international cricket in the bubble, players have often complained about fatigue and Bumrah reiterated the same.

"Absolutely you need a break sometimes. You miss your family. You have been on the road for six months. So all of that sometimes play on the back of your mind but when you are on the field, you dont think about all of those things. You dont control a lot of things. All the scheduling goes on or what, what tournament is played when. So obviously staying in a bubble and staying away from your family for such a long period of time does play a role on players` minds as well," Jasprit Bumrah said in the virtual post-match press conference on Sunday.
