the headline news of the week-The wait is now over, ICC Announces Fixtures for World Test Championship 2021-23 Cycle.

A BCCI source confirmed that Pant had tested positive and had been in isolation for the past eight days. He is, according to the source, asymptomatic at this point. “He is in quarantine at an acquaintance’s place and won’t be traveling with the team to Durham on Thursday,” the source said without divulging when the 23-year-old would join the squad.

“Yes, one player has tested positive but he has been in isolation for the last eight days. He was not staying in any hotel with the team, so no other player has been affected,” BCCI vice-president Rajiv Shukla told PTI.

“As of now, no other player has tested positive. Also, you must be aware our secretary Jay Shah has written a letter to all players to maintain protocols”

 AdditionallyBoard confirmed that all traveling family members and caretakers with the team have also been administrated with the second dose of covid vaccine earlier this month in London.

have you heard of this- Is the end near for Ravi Shastri as the coach for the Indian team? Let the T20 world cup will decide.

The development came close on the heels of Shah sending an email to the Indian contingent, warning it about the rising cases of Covid-19 in the United Kingdom. The players were given a break after the World Test Championship final against New Zealand, which the team lost last month.

It is understood that Pant has been afflicted by the Delta variant, which has led to the rising number of cases in England. He was seen attending a Euro 2020 football match last month and had even posted pictures on his social media accounts.

Shah, in his letter, told the players to “avoid” crowded places as Covishield, the vaccine that has been administered to the players and other members of the team only provides protection, not full immunity against the virus.

In fact, Shah’s letter had specifically stated that players should avoid going to Wimbledon and the Euros, both of which recently concluded in the UK.

The Indian team is due to take on England in a five-match Test series starting August 4. It will play a practice game starting July 20 as a build-up to the high-intensity series. But Pant Easwaran and Saha will miss the practice match scheduled to start on July 20 against a combined countryside with Bengal players Alson with Arun in 10 days

what didi they said- BCCI has taken all possible precautions to keep the team safe against covid-19, says Rajeev Shukla

Pant will also need recovery time and won’t play the game in that case KL Rahul will keep against combined counties from July 20-22

The India-England showdown marks the beginning of the second cycle of the World Test Championship.

Recently, the England team too was hit by the virus and was forced to field a second-string side for its limited-overs series against Pakistan.

also some days later Srilankan players tested positive for covid thus ICC has to think of a current situation.
