Ravichandran Ashwin missed plane to England after testing positive for COVID-19, says BCCI source

Senior off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has not travelled to the United Kingdom along with his team mates for the one-off 'fifth Test' after testing positive for COVID-19, a BCCI source told PTI on Monday.

Ashwin is currently in quarantine and will only join the squad after meeting all protocols requirements. The Indian team had left for U.K. on June 16. "Ashwin hasn't travelled with the squad to U.K. as he has tested positive for COVID-19 before departure. But we are hopeful that he will recover well in time before the Test match starts on July 1," a BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.

"However he might miss the practice game against Leicestershire," the source added.
