India vs England 5th Test: Covid-19 positive Ravi Shastri, Arun, Sridhar to miss final match at Manchester

The
Manchester
Test
is
set
to
be
played
from
September
10
to
14
at
Old
Trafford.
Sources
in
the
Indian
team
confirmed
that
Shastri
and
two
others
will
remain
in
isolation
for
14
days
and
needed
two
negative
tests
before
he
can
come
out
of
isolation.
On
Monday,
their
RTPC-R
tests
too
turned
positive.

“Unfortunately,
Shastri
will
remain
in
isolation
for
14
days
and
will
have
to
return
two
negative
tests
before
he
can
come
out
of
isolation.
He
will
not
be
a
part
of
the
Indian
dressing
room
till
then,”
the
source
told
ANI.

Just
half
an
hour
before
the
start
of
play
on
Day
4
of
the
4th
Test
at
the
Oval,
the
BCCI
said
its
medical
team
had
isolated
Ravi
Shastri,
head
coach,
Bharat
Arun,
bowling
coach,
R
Sridhar,
fielding
coach,
and
Nitin
Patel,
physiotherapist,
as
a
precautionary
measure
after
Shastri’s
lateral
flow
test
returned
positive
on
Saturday
evening.

The
remaining
members
of
the
Team
India
contingent
underwent
two
Lateral
Flow
Tests

one
on
Saturday
night
and
another
on
Sunday
morning.
The
members
upon
returning
negative
COVID
reports
were
allowed
to
proceed
for
Day
4
of
the
ongoing
fourth
Test
at
The
Oval
against
England.

“Of
course,
we
are
missing
Ravi
bhai
massively.
Ravi
bhai,
Bharat
Arun,
and
R
Sridhar
have
been
an
extremely
important
part
of
this
setup,
they
have
done
well
in
the
past
five-six
years
and
they
have
played
a
major
role
in
the
team
doing
well.

This
is
what
it
is,
they
are
not
here.
In
the
morning,
it
was
a
bit
of
a
distraction,
we
had
a
word
and
we
decided
we
need
to
focus
on
the
cricket.
We
are
here
for
this
series,
and
I
think
the
boys
did
well
to
not
get
distracted.

“There
was
a
potential
we
could
have
been
distracted,
the
credit
needs
to
go
to
the
boys
for
the
way
they
handled
themselves,”
said
Rathour
during
a
virtual
press
conference
on
Sunday.

“Ravi
bhai
felt
ill
on
Saturday
night
around
8
PM.
He
was
having
a
little
bit
of
discomfort
yesterday,
the
medical
team
decided
to
go
for
a
lateral
flow
test
and
it
came
out
positive
and
that
is
when
we
all
found
that
he
is
positive.
The
close
contacts
were
identified
and
isolated
so
we
will
wait
for
the
medical
team
to
tell
us
when
they
can
join
back,”
he
added.
