IND VS ENG fifth test postponed!

The start of the fifth and final Test between India and England, scheduled to begin at Manchester on Friday has been deferred following the discussions between the BCCI and England and Wales Cricket Board, The New Indian Express has learnt. If all parties agree, the Test will now commence on Sunday.

Although all the members of the Indian contingent tested negative in the RT-PCR tests taken on Thursday, the players have been concerned about taking the field as several of them are believed to have come in close contact with assistant physiotherapist Yogesh Parmar, who tested Covid positive on Wednesday.
