In what was a shocking development, Indian wicketkeeper and batsman Rishabh Pant was found to have tested COVID-19 positive ahead of the Indian team’s reassembly and travel to Durham for the three-day practice game.

As per multiple reports, stated that since Pant has tested positive for Covid-19, he will not be joining the Indian side when all the other players rejoin back ahead of the Test series against England. Post the World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand, the Indian team members left the bio-bubble to explore London and spend time with the family outside the bubble.

Apart from Pant, even Indian pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah had also attended the football tournament as well. Apart from them, Ravichandran Ashwin and coach Ravi Shastri were seen attending the 2021 Wimbledon Championship.
