Even before playing the historic Test on England tour, Team India has suffered a major setback. The visiting team's star off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has not been able to travel to England after being found corona positive. Within hours of reaching England, pictures of Team India captain Rohit Sharma and former captain Virat Kohli are becoming viral on social media, in which both of them are roaming in England and also taking selfies with fans. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is now very angry with this action of Rohit and Virat. After increasing the cases of Corona in England, the board does not want the players to face any kind of trouble.
After this mistake of Rohit and Virat, BCCI has now swung into action and soon both the veterans are going to get a warning from the board. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli took selfies last week with fans in Leicester and London, where the Indian team is preparing for a warm-up match against Leicestershire County Cricket Club. There were also reports that Rohit and Virat had shopped without wearing masks. Taking this action of the players seriously, BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal has warned them not to do so. Dhumal told InsideSports, 'Despite the low risk of corona in England, players should be more careful. We will ask the team to be a little careful.
Cases of Kovid-19 are still very high in the UK. More than 10,000 new cases are being reported every day in the country. This mistake of Rohit and Virat can put him in isolation for five days and he can also be out of Edgbaston Test. The visiting team will be playing a four-day match and this will help them to swing the ball and swing the ball in the conditions. All the players of this 17-member team have reached England. Now only Ashwin is left as he has been hit by Corona. However, the team management is hopeful that he will recover in time and will be available for the fifth Test to be held from July 1-5.
