India’s tour of England has started to create problems even before it started. Virat Kohli among a few other players, is said to have had tested positive for Covid-19. However, the former India skipper has fully recovered from the virus. The situation, albeit, has put the team’s practice Test against Leicestershire in a tricky situation.
“Yes, Virat Kohli was also affected by Covid after coming back from his Maldives vacation, “This now means that India’s tour game against Leicestershire from June 24 won’t be as intense as coach Rahul Dravid wanted it to be, since the medical advice is to not overload the players after they’ve suffered Covid-19. There could be more Covid cases in the team,” the source stated.
India’s tour of England last year had to be terminated prematurely after Covid-19 cases emerged in the visitors’ camp, with even head coach Ravi Shastri testing positive for the virus. As the Indian team gears up for the England assignment again, a repeat of the situation has been feared.
