India Test captain Rohit Sharma has tested positive for Covid-19 which could put him in doubt for the one-off Test against England at Edgbaston.
Mayank Agarwal, the India opener, has been called up for the upcoming Edgbaston Test against England, scheduled to start on July 1. Agarwal will join the squad on Monday as cover for Rohit Sharma who tested positive for Covid-19. As per the latest travel advisory, Agarwal will not be required to quarantine upon arrival, which will make him available to play immediately if required.
Agarwal, 31, had originally been left out of the squad, but an injury to KL Rahul and doubts over Rohit's availability have now opened up the door.
