England cricket players arrive in Chennai for the four-match series against India

Two days before their opening day-night One-day International against Pakistan on Thursday, England cricket was thrown into a tizzy after seven members -- three players and four management team members - tested positive for Covid-19. "Following PCR tests administered yesterday [Monday] in Bristol, the England and <keyword id="105319" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Wales-Cricket-Board">Wales Cricket Board</keyword> (ECB) can confirm that seven members -- three players and four management team members-- of the England Men's ODI party have tested positive for Covid-19. The remaining members of the party have been deemed close contacts and will also isolate," the ECB said in a statement on Tuesday. The development means that the ECB will have to select a new squad for the Pakistan series, which will go ahead as scheduled. "The ECB have confirmed the <keyword id="470498" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Royal-London">Royal London</keyword> ODIs and the Vitality IT20s against Pakistan will go ahead. Ben Stokes will return to England duties and captain the squad -- which will be named in the next few hours," the ECB said. "In collaboration with <keyword id="2077556" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Public-Health-England">Public Health England</keyword>, <keyword id="9939553" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Public-Health-Wales">Public Health Wales</keyword>, and Bristol Local Health Authority, those impacted will now observe a period of self-isolation from July 4 following the UK Government's protocol on quarantine." The ECB said that incoming squad and support team members would follow PCR tests and bridging protocols to ensure safe entry to camp. "We have been mindful that the emergence of the Delta variant, along with our move away from the stringent enforcement of bio secure environments, could increase the chances of an outbreak. We made a strategic choice to try to adapt protocols, in order to support the overall wellbeing of our players and management staff who have spent much of the last 14 months living in very restricted conditions," ECB CEO Tom Harrison said. "Overnight we have worked swiftly to identify a new squad, and we are grateful to Ben Stokes who will return to England duties to captain. We also recognise the impact this news will have on our first-class counties and their men's playing squads and thank them, along with our partners <keyword id="6386195" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="sky">Sky</keyword> and Royal London, for their ongoing support in dealing with this pandemic," he said.

After India's historic series win at Gabba, Boman Irani and Star Sports get ready to welcome England cricket team

There is nothing quite like the drama of the Ashes. English and Australian players are known to get along well off the pitch, but on it, especially when they are wearing whites, the intensity and animosity of the years gone by between cricketers of the two country takes over and players end up making or breaking their careers. Usman Khawaja, 171 at Sydney in 2018 England posted a competitive total of 346 and it looked like they were carrying forward the momentum of the previous match in Melbourne which was drawn at the end of what was another forgettable tour of Australia. They got Cameron Bancroft out for a duck but that was the end of England's resurgence in that series. Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith came in and normal service resumed with the Australian batsmen dominating the Englishmen. Khawaja was one of three centurions in that innings, the other two being the Marsh brothers and Australia declared on a mammoth 649/7. They won the match by an innings and 123 runs. Alastair Cook, 235* at Brisbane in 2010 Cook was at his prolific best when England arrived in Australia in a bid to defend their title. They started off on shaky ground though, with Australia taking a lead of 221 thanks to a brilliant pair of centuries by Mike Hussey and Brad Haddin. What followed was two and a half days in hell for the Aussie bowlers as Cook, Andrew Strauss and Jonathan Trott pushed England to 517/1, a scorecard that broke quite a few records. Cook was unbeaten 235 having shared a 188-run stand with Strauss before putting on 329 for the second wicket with Trott. Steve Smith, 215 at Lord's in 2015 Smith was on overdrive and before this match, his previous totals in Test cricket read as 214,161,206,188,30,253 and 66. Australia made a strong start to the second Test, batting first with a 78-run stand between David Warner and Chris Rogers. What followed that was the end of any hopes England had of taking a 2-0 lead in the series. Smith and Rogers put up 284 runs for the second wicket. While Rogers fell to Broad on 173, Smith carried on, even sharing a 91-run stand for the sixth wicket with Peter Nevill before being trapped leg before by Joe Root. Australia won the match by 405 runs. Alastair Cook, 244* at MCG in 2018 When Cook bowed out of Test cricket in 2019 with a century, he was celebrated as one of England's greatest ever batsman in the longest format of the game. But for much of the two years preceding that moment, the former England captain cut an embattled figure. The ball was not going to the places that he wanted it to and he was a shadow of his former prolific self. The colossal 244 in Melbourne, in which he batted through an innings that lasted 144.1 overs was an island in this run of bad form however. England finally showed fight in a series that they were trailing 3-0, and the match ended in a draw. Kevin Pietersen, 227 at Adelaide in 2010 Pietersen's Test career started and ended with the Ashes. Since he made his debut in 2005, the Ashes was his theatre and he was the anti-hero. The Australians were onto him every time he came out to bat as they knew getting him out is crucial to winning the match while his England teammates themselves were not too fond of him because of all the off-field problems that came with him into the dressing room. His ability with the bat however, was never in question and Adelaide was always a happy hunting ground for him. His 227 in the 2nd Test of the 2010 series helped England declare on a monumental 620/5. England went on to record an innings victory in that match and the icing on the cake for Pietersen was that he managed to get the prized wicket of Michael Clarke, something that he says he makes sure to remind 'Pup' to this day.

Top five Ashes knocks in the last decade

London: England captain <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/team-players/Alastair%20Nathan%20Cook/playerDetails.cms?profileteamid=3001&amp;profileplayerid=3056">Alastair Cook</a> remains unable to shake off criticism from Australia great <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/shane-warne/32001/1011">Shane Warne</a>, who for the second time in ten days has commented on what he feels is negative leadership. Warne, who twice this year has already criticised Cook's marshaling of a flagging<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/team-players/England/players/ncriplayer.cms?profileteamid=3001&amp;cricid=3001&amp;tab=overview"> England cricket team</a>, has now said that the 29-year-old should step aside from the captaincy or take a break from the game. 
 
"There are three ways to go with Alastair 'Cooked' Cook. Everyone sticks their head in the sand and just allows things to keep going as is and hope he finds form with the bat and by a miracle discovers some tactical brains from somewhere. Two: he steps down from the captaincy to concentrate on his batting. Three: the most radical of all, he has a complete break away from the game," wrote Warne his column for the Daily Telegraph. 
 
"Lots of people, including me, think it is time for him to step down as captain. The most disappointing thing for me is that he has not learned or improved after a horrible 5-0 drumming in Australia, in fact he has got worse. He is not thinking straight. He is not there. He is confused. He does not know what to do and because he is in a rut with his form it makes life a lot worse. You just cannot captain a team in transition in that frame of mind." 
 In between the drawn Lord's Test against Sri Lanka and the start of the second at <keyword id="90858" type="CITY" weightage="40" keywordseo="Leeds">Leeds</keyword> last week, Warne had used words such as "boring" and "unimaginative" to describe Cook's defensive field settings in the first match. 
 
On the eve of the second Test, Cook told the BBC in an interview that he felt such attacks on his leadership were "personal" and called for action to be taken against those who lash out at the England cricket team. But during the match, which England ended up losing by 100 runs to make it consecutive series defeats following the 5-0 Ashes debacle, Cook found himself under fire again, with the likes of former England captain and opener <keyword id="66625" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Geoffrey-Boycott">Geoffrey Boycott</keyword> terming his poor batting form as a "recipe for resignation". 
 
Cook has gone 24 Test innings without a century, but a lot of criticism has been because of a lack of positive thinking during the Headingley match, specifically on the fourth day when Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews was allowed agreeable field settings to score a match-turning 160. 
 
"On Monday at Headingley I witnessed the worst day of captaincy I have ever seen at international level in almost 25 years in the game," wrote Warne, who took 195 of his 708 Test wickets against England. "It was horrific, and I am not the only one singing that tune. He just does not get it. Everyone watching could see the game needed a change of pace; bowl the spinner or make the seamers try and actually get Angelo Mathews out. You just cannot bowl the same stuff over after over like he did - good captains try things and are proactive, not hopeful." 
 
Responding to Cook's suggestions that Warne's comments were personal, the 44-year-old wrote: "This column is not a personal attack and never has been, Alastair. Mate, you need to improve tactically or England need someone else in the job. And I am not the only one saying it. Please speak to (former England captains) Michael Vaughan, Nasser Hussain and other successful captains who were tough, ruthless and got it. Also, if I was an Aussie cheerleader, as the ECB thinks I am, I would not be criticising Cook. I would be saying keep him in the job because that would be the best thing for Australia during the Ashes next year. I have always been open to talking to Alastair, like I always have with any other player from any country, if they wanted a chat over a beer."

Warne To Cook: Mate, Improve Tactically Or Take A Break

Former England <keyword id="1411" type="POSITION" weightage="60" keywordseo="captain">captain</keyword> <keyword id="66629" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Michael-Vaughan">Michael Vaughan</keyword> thinks that the England cricket team may be rushing with the left-arm spinner <keyword id="1011802" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Simon-Kerrigan">Simon Kerrigan</keyword>. England have picked Kerrigan in the squad for the second Test against India starting at Lord’s on Thursday. 
 
The 25-year-old spinner made his only Test appearance in the fifth Ashes Test at the Oval and returned with rather forgettable figures of 0 for 53 in just eight overs, after which he fell out of favour with the English selectors. 
 
"I fear for Simon Kerrigan," Vaughan was quoted as saying on Radio 5 live. "England have thrown him back into the environment of international cricket far too soon." Vaughan believed that another bad experience and Kerrigan’s international career might just be in serious jeopardy. "If the second one goes badly, he can never come back from that again," the former England was quoted as saying. 
 "If he goes out on Thursday and all of a sudden the Indians climb into him and it's like that situation against <keyword id="6411673" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Watson">Watson</keyword>, he won't come back from that for a long time." 
 
"He's not pulled up any trees for Lancashire this season. Why rush the lad back in?," Vaughan said. Kerrigan has picked 28 wickets at an average of over 34 this season for Lancashire. 
"Throwing him out to bowl at Lord's against an Indian batting line-up who can play spin with their eyes shut - I just think is unfair." Despite Vaughan’s worst fears, the Lancashire spinner has said he is ready to put his nightmare Test debut behind him and show to England captain <keyword id="9234" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Alastair-Cook">Alastair Cook</keyword> that his addition to the squad for the second Investec Test against India is not really a gamble. 
 
"But my job is to bowl spin, and I bowl it every day so it's no different. Hopefully I get a chance to show off my skills - what I do in county cricket on the big stage. If you do well against Indian batsmen you can do well against anyone," Kerrigan was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.
