Team India experienced a minor blow when it was revealed that senior all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin would not be joining his teammates in the United Kingdom (UK) for the series decider against hosts England on Tuesday. Ashwin, who did not play in a single Test match during the India-England series in 2021, was said to have tested positive for COVID-19.
As a result, Ashwin remained in isolate, and the star spinner was as it were permitted to connect the India camp once all protocol criteria were met. The veteran spinner and middle-order player is expected to rejoin his teammates sooner than planned, agreeing to the most recent improvements. The experienced all-rounder is expected to play within the day warm-up game against Leicester County.
According to a report published by Cricbuzz, veteran spinner Ashwin is expected to arrive in England in the coming days.
