NEW DELHI: The fifth Test of the Pataudi Trophy between India and England, scheduled at Old Trafford in September 2021, was canceled just 90 minutes before it was to start. A COVID-19 outbreak in the Indian camp, which affected several support staff members, including head coach Ravi Shastri, led to the decision.
Although the Indian players tested negative for the virus, anxiety over potential health risks resulted in the match's postponement. India were leading the series 2-1 and had a chance to achieve a historic win in England.
