During the three-week break after the WTC final, young wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant had also contracted COVID-19.

On Thursday (July 22), Pant joined the Indian contingent in Durham after recovering from the deadly virus. He had tested positive for the novel Coronavirus on July 8 and was kept in isolation while being closely monitored by the BCCI Medical Team.

The COVID-19 scare in the Indian camp saw Pant and Saha missing out on the three-day warm-up match against Select County XI from July 20-22.

The five-Test series between India and England is slated to get underway on August 4 at Trent Bridge and the tourists will hope to put behind their COVID-19 troubles for the series, which will be the part of second WTC cycle.
