India’s physio tests positive, but final Test set to go ahead
After a day of high drama, which saw India’s physiotherapist Yogesh Parmar returning a positive test for COVID-19 and the BCCI entering into negotiations with the ECB for calling off the fifth Test, the Indians will take the field for a mouth-watering series finale against England at Old Trafford in Manchester on Friday. Once the RT-PCR tests of every member of the Indian camp, except Parmar’s, returned negative late on Thursday, the ECB insisted that the Old Trafford Test had to go ahead. With the players confined to their rooms since Wednesday night after undergoing RT-PCR tests following Parmar’s positive result, the Indian team management cancelled its customary pre-match media interaction. Parmar’s positive test has taken the number of COVID-19 cases in India’s entourage to four, with head coach Ravi Shastri, bowling coach B. Arun and fielding coach R. Sridhar having been diagnosed positive during the fourth Test at The Oval in London last week.
