Indian cricket board's decision to allow players to visit sporting venues as well as other public places in England and mingle with crowds during their three-week break has come under spotlight after it emerged that wicketkeeper-batsman <keyword id="3142448" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rishabh-Pant">Rishabh Pant</keyword> has tested positive for Covid-19. Pant had visited the <keyword id="963902" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Euro-2020">Euro 2020</keyword> pre-quarter final between England and Germany on June 29 and had later tweeted pictures of himself with a few of his friends sitting in the crowd. "Good experience watching [emoticon: football] [emoticons: flags of England and Germany]," Pant had tweeted with pictures from the Wembley Stadium where the match was played. <keyword id="1446504" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hanuma-Vihari">Hanuma Vihari</keyword> and Jasprit Bumrah are the other players to have visited Wembley to watch Euro 2020 football. Team coach Ravi Shastri and premier off-spinner R Ashwin, who played a County Championship match for <keyword id="61655" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Surrey">Surrey</keyword> this week, had visited <keyword id="6437049" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="wimbledon">Wimbledon</keyword> in the break. Although the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is yet to comment on the matter, reports have said that Pant tested about a week back and will be tested again on July 18. Pant will not be joining the team in the camp in Durham that begins on Thursday. The Indian cricket squad, which had reached England in early June and then played the World Test Championship (WTC) final last month, was on a three-week break, during which players were free to go anywhere they wanted as England opened up following lockdown. The Indian team was not scheduled to play any warm-up against any county team due to the ongoing pandemic. However, BCCI's request for a warm-up game following the dismal show in WTC final is being mulled over by the <keyword id="60971" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="ECB">ECB</keyword>. It will be interesting to see if the ECB organises a warm-up game against a county XI and whether they take any measures for it. The British government is slowly opening sporting venues across the country and the Euro 2020 final between England and Italy at the Wembley Stadium hosted a crowd of 60,000 people. The Indian team is scheduled to play a five-Test series against England in August-September.

Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant reportedly tests positive for COVID-19 ahead of India-England series

While day two of the first test between India and South Africa has been washed out, weather forecast at Centurion ground in Gauteng province of South Africa seems like the game is likely to resume today. However, data from The Weather Channel showed a 60% chance of rain, along with thunderstorms, on Thursday (December 30), which is the fifth and the final day of the test. <div type="image" title="twc" height="900" width="1200" msid="88535421" hostid="261"></div> Source: <a href="https://weather.com/en-IN/weather/tenday/l/3c852d2090a7d6a4f69bdbb44d465212e5519cc8c52fa09a93ec279905e9bd7d">The Weather Channel</a> If the game were to be washed out or truncated on Thursday as well, it would mean there are three innings to finish in less than three days of the Test.

"I think what the world has seen Rishabh do at 23 is just the tip of the iceberg. We have always adopted a holistic approach to all our business verticals and we will continue to do that for 'Brand Rishabh' through this relationship," said Ghouse. On Tuesday, Pant scored a brilliant 89 not out as India chased down a 328-run target on Day Five for the Brisbane Test, thus becoming a first team in over 32 years to beat Australia at the Gabba.

There is no threat to the ongoing fourth Test against England as all the other playing members have tested negative in two lateral flow tests conducted on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. Fielding coach R Sridhar and head physiotherapist Nitin Patel have also been isolated. "The BCCI Medical Team has isolated Mr Ravi Shastri, Head Coach, Mr B. Arun, Bowling Coach, Mr R. Sridhar, Fielding Coach and Mr Nitin Patel, Physiotherapist as a precautionary measure after Mr Shastri's lateral flow test returned positive last evening," BCCI secretary Jay Shah stated in a release. The team is set to travel to Manchester on Tuesday and if these four test positive in RT-PCR, they will have to undero 10-day room isolation followed by two negative RT-PCR results. "They have undergone RT-PCR testing and shall remain in the team hotel and not travel with Team India until confirmation from the medical team," he further added. "The remaining members of the Team India contingent underwent two Lateral Flow Tests - one last night and another this morning. The members upon returning negative COVID reports were allowed to proceed for Day 4 of the ongoing fourth Test at The Oval." The lateral flow tests always doesn't give accurate results as it is a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) and it is a form of self test with the kit being provided to each member of the side. The Indian contingent has been carrying out lateral flow tests every single day since Rishabh Pant tested positive for COVID during the three week break. It is understood that Shastri may have got the symptoms after attending his book launch event in the team hotel where outside guests were also allowed. "Since there is no restrictions in the UK, outside guests were allowed during Shastri's book launch party. These people also were his closest contacts, so it has now led to mandatory isolation," a BCCI source said. "You feel for Bharath Arun. This is the second time, that he has to be isolated because someone else had tested positive. Last time it was Dayanand Garani, the masseur, who came in contact with Arun and later tested positive," he added.
