Rishabh Pant has tested positive for Covid-19 as the squad prepares for a Test series in England, a cricket official told AFP on Thursday.
The Indian players, led by Virat Kohli, are currently in London but will enter a bio-secure bubble and leave for Durham later Thursday for a tour match next week.
The first Test begins on August 4 in Nottingham. "Pant has tested positive and will not travel to Durham with the rest of the team," a cricket official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
Pant has been in quarantine for the past week, the official added. Pant posted pictures of himself at a Euro 2020 football match last month on his social media accounts.
