R Ashwin joins India team camp in England
After being infected with the Corona virus, R Ashwin was unable to fly with the team to England. The Tamil Nadu spinner remained in isolation at his home after testing positive for Kovid and after recovering from the illness, he got fit and joined his India team in Leicester ahead of the practice match. After following all the protocols related to Kovid, Ashwin flew to England. To confirm that Ashwin is at the team’s camp, BCCI also shared footage from the team’s practice session on social media platforms clearly showing the champion spinner.
Better late than never
Most of the team’s test specialists had arrived in London on June 16. The following day, captain Rohit Sharma also joined the team in England. Coach Rahul Dravid along with goalkeepers Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer also arrived in England on June 21 after the T20 series finale against South Africa. Two days later, with Ashwin’s arrival in England, the Indian team is ready to unleash their might. The rescheduled Test match of last year’s Test series will be played in Birmingham from July 1.
No chance for Ashwin in the preparation match
Ashwin has not been given a chance in the four-day warm-up match against Leicestershire. In this crucial match, the team’s focus will be more in the form of India’s top batsmen, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli. These batsmen will be primarily responsible for scoring runs and laying the foundation for victory in the test match against England.
