Earlier this month, Pant had tested positive for the dreaded Coronavirus. After this he went into isolation. Pant has now joined the team in Durham after his two RT-PCR test reports came out negative. Rishabh Pant scored 4 runs in the first innings and 41 runs in the second innings in the final of the World Test Championship against New Zealand last month. Team India lost this test by 8 wickets.

Even after players from both England and India tested Covid-19 positive, ECB will not create a strong bio-bubble during the Test series, as per ECB chief executive Tom Harrison. He said that players are tired of bio-bubbles and it is affecting their mental health.
