As far as the Indian cricket team is concerned, they have regrouped in Durham apart from a couple of players who tested positive and have been put in isolation. The team has started training for the upcoming practice game against the Select Counties XI, ahead of the upcoming five-match Test series against England.
The five-Test series will begin from August 4 with the first Test at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.
