Australia cricket team is in a bio-secure bubble at Southampton ahead of the 3-match T20I and ODI series against England. The players are not allowed to go out but that isn't a problem for them.

It's tough to stay inside for long but not if you have a source of unlimited entertainment. Cricket Australia shared a video showing what the cricketers are up to inside the bio-bubble. 

They are driving in high-octane races on a Formula One simulator and also playing dart and spending time at the pool. In the video, Mitchell Marsh, Marcus Stoinis, and Adam Zampa are dancing at the gym. It doesn't feel like players are missing going out.

"All the boys are going fine. The fact that you can't leave the hotel, it forces all the boys to hang out a lot more, so we're just having competitions with each other," Stoinis said in the video.

"There's golf starting today for a few of the boys, so it helps the banter and gets the competitive juices flowing," he added. "There's the F1 simulator. It's pretty good, but it's not that easy. We've got table tennis, we've got a pool, we've got darts, the gym around the corner - it feels like we've got everything.

"All the boys have their PlayStations, so that's keeping us busy," he said.

The three-match T20I series starts on September 4. The ODI series will kick off from September 11 and the last match is scheduled on 16.
