New Delhi: The first match of the five-Test series between India and England is scheduled to begin on August 4. Before the series started, there was constant bad news for Team India. First Shubman Gill returned home with injuries. All-rounder Washington Sundar was also ruled out of the series, while pacer Avesh Khan will also not be able to be a part of the team in the series. In an even bigger blow, Mayank Agarwal was also injured and ruled out of the first Test just two days before the match. However, now news of relief for Team India has surfaced.
It is reported that Surya Kumar Yadav and Prithvi Shaw, who are on a tour of Sri Lanka with Shikhar Dhawan-led Team India, have left Sri Lanka for England. Team India returned home after the Sri Lanka series was over, but Prithvi Shaw and Surya Kumar Yadav were in Sri Lanka as they had to go to England. Although the players would have arrived in England by now, the work needed to go to England delayed them, but now they have left for England. However, these two players will not be able to play in the first Test. Because the first Test is scheduled to begin on August 4 and Surya Kumar Yadav and Prithvi Shaw will have to stay in quarantine for about ten days after arriving in England, they will have a corona test, after the report is negative and they will be able to join the team.
In the absence of Shubman Gill Mayank Agarwal, Prithvi Shaw will not be able to open the first Test. They may be included in the playing XI in the second Test. Kl Rahul is believed to have landed in the first Test with opening batsman Rohit Sharma. The two players have been opening the ODI T20 for quite some time now, so they have a good understanding, which can benefit Team India.
