India team's one-and-a-half month-long break, between World Test Championship final against New Zealand and five-Test series against England, though devoid of any competitive cricket may turn into a blessing in disguise. But the one-and-a-half month gap after the WTC final will coincide with the period when lockdown would have been lifted in England. "I feel like when you are done with the World Test Championship, I think it is a great opportunity to refresh, restructure," India skipper Virat Kohli had told media prior to departure. Although some social distancing and mask-wearing rules will remain, all legal limits on social contact will be removed just a day before the WTC final against New Zealand ends on June 22.
