After Covid-19 scare in the Indian camp in Sri Lanka both players currently are under isolation and can’t board flight to London anytime soon. Even as per the local protocols by the UK health authorities, they may not be given entry in England anytime soon.

“We can’t say anything with certainty at this stage. We have to observe them for next couple of days to decide – whether to announce new replacements or not”, declared the BCCI official.
