Indian cricket team head coach Ravi Shastri and captain Virat Kohli are unlikely to be questioned about their participation in events after bowling coach Bharat Arun and fielding coach R Sridhar tested positive for COVID-19.
“Covid-19 is something that can happen to anyone. In addition, the United Kingdom government has lifted restrictions and opened up movement. So, people are allowed to move freely,” a top Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) official told IANS.
The trio will miss the fifth and final Test to be played at Old Trafford in Manchester from 10-14 September.
The lockdown in England ended in July when India were playing the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) against New Zealand in Southampton.
The team members visited Wimbledon and Euro 2020 matches during the period following the WTC Finals.
Rishabh Pant had tested positive soon after watching the Euro 2020 match.
In the past few days, in the lead-up to the fourth Test at The Oval, Shastri had attended celebrations that included the release of his book. Kohli was also present at the book launch.
