EnglandThe Returning Vice Captain Jose Butler Said his team “crossed over” in the final test on Friday India Continue after the tourists canceled the training and media commitments, as there were reports that the fourth member of their behind-the-scenes staff tested positive Coronavirus disease-19.
Covid has appeared in Indian camps since the weekend, when head coach Ravi Shastri and two other staff behind the scenes tested positive.
Members of the Indian Party, including Shastri, participated in the new book launch in London without the permission of the parent committee, angering the European Central Bank.
BCCI stated that the entire team was tested on the last morning of the Indian winning test. According to BCCI, all these tests were negative on Tuesday.
On Thursday, India cancelled their training sessions on the eve of the game-which is always easy-and the media promised that the fourth behind-the-scenes staff (physical therapist) reportedly tested positive.
According to reports, the players were isolated in their rooms, waiting for the results of another round of testing (these results will be announced on Thursday night). If the result is positive, then this game will be seriously questioned. Both the European Central Bank and BCCI are waiting nervously for these results.
The cancellation will have a significant financial impact on the European Central Bank. The 215,000-capacity stadium was sold out on the first day to the third day, and broadcast revenue was worth millions of pounds.
There won’t even be a test match at Old Trafford next summer for ticket holders to switch to (many of those who hold tickets to this match originally bought it last summer for a match that was eventually held behind closed doors.
Butler said that England knows very little about this situation.
“We don’t know much about this at the moment,” he said. “It is naive to speculate that what is happening. At the moment, we are fully looking forward to the game continuing, we are preparing for it, so the game will continue.
“Everything is going well in our camp. We trained well this morning and we look forward to tomorrow’s game.”
A complicating factor is the resumption of the Indian Premier League in the UAE after 10 days, and BCCI is eager to protect it. For this, they need to leave England as planned next week and stay healthy.
