Rohit Sharma tests negative for Covid-19

India commander Rohit Sharma has tried negative for Covid-19 in the most recent round of testing. Rohit, who missed the progressing revamped Edgbaston Test because of the contamination, is currently accessible for the white-ball series against England that starts off with the primary T20I in Southampton on Thursday (July 7).

"Indeed, Rohit has tried negative and according to clinical conventions is currently out of isolation. In any case, he isn't playing the present T20 warm-up game against Northamptonshire as he will require some recuperation time and preparing in front of the principal T20I," PTIsaid citing a senior BCCI official.

Rohit had tried positive threefold prompting him being managed out of the Test, what began on July 1. In his absence,Jasprit Bumrah is driving the side.

While Rohit will presently be accessible for all the six white-ball matches that follow, any semblance of Virat Kohli, Bumrah, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja - who are a piece of the Test XI - will interface up just in front of the second T20I as BCCI named two unique crews for the three-match series to manage the cost of a rest to the red-ball regulars.
