Reflexes
- The Indian team will depart for Birmingham on June 28
- Rohit will have to test negative in two RTPCR reports before June 30
- BCCI considers Rishabh Pant for trial captaincy too young: report
The Indian team is currently on a tour of England, where it has to play the fifth and only Test match of last year’s incomplete Test series at Edgbaston, Birmingham from July 1-5. But before, once again Corona has increased the tension of the Indian team. Team captain Rohit Sharma tested positive in a rapid antigen test carried out on June 25. After this, the RTPCR test was carried out on June 26, whose report will arrive at 8:00 p.m. on Monday, June 27. If they test positive for this, they will have to remain in isolation until the 29th. If it comes back negative, they will have another test.
Rohit can play on one condition!
Let us tell you that if Rohit Sharma comes out negative in the report that will arrive on Monday, June 27, then he will not rest. After this, another RTPCR test will be performed. In a nutshell, until June 30, Rohit will be allowed to play test matches with the team from July 1 only if he fails two consecutive RTPCR tests. The team is currently in Leicester. On June 28, the team will depart for Birmingham from here. Rohit Sharma is currently in isolation at the team hotel there.
BCCI prepared the captaincy plan!
While speaking to some media reports, a senior BCCI official reported that in Rohit Sharma’s absence, Rishabh Pant is still too young to take over the captaincy. In this condition, Jasprit Bumrah can be given command of the team. Previously in the South Africa series and then at IPL 2022, Bumrah was also the vice-captain. The officer also said that Bumrah has also been asked to be ready for this. In this situation, Rishabh Pant can become a vice-captain.
BCCI angry at many players including Rohit Sharma!
In the report, citing a BCCI official, it also emerged that the board is also angry with many players, including Rohit Sharma. Actually, in the past, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and then during the practice match, Rishabh Pant were seen going through the crowd without a mask or protection. The board has expressed its disgust at this attitude of the players and has also described it as irresponsible. It should be noted that recently Rohit and Virat were seen posing with their fans without masks.
