Mumbai: The second dose of the COVID19 Vaccination will be administered by the UK health department for the Indian players who are set to travel to England for the World Test Championship (WTC) final and the five-match Test series against England, ANI reported.

Speaking to ANI, sources aware of the developments said that Indian players will get a second dose under the guidance of the UK’s health department.
