In a recent interaction, Nathan Lyon said that he is very well aware that some players from both teams have been in a bubble for the past six months. But, looking forward to the current situation it’s mandatory to follow the rules and regulations.
“I know there are a few people from both squads who have been in a bubble for close to six months now but in my eyes, it is a very small sacrifice for us to go out there and play the game we love and put a lot of smiles on a lot of people’s faces around the world. In my eyes, we just have to suck it up, get out there and get on with it and play for our respective countries and make sure we are playing a really competitive brand of cricket.” Nathan Lyon said.
