The veteran Indian wicket-keeper batsman, Wriddhiman Saha, opener, Abhimanyu Easwaran, and Bharat Arun, the close contacts of India’s Covid-positive throwdown specialist Dayanand Garani, have completed the mandatory isolation of 10 days in London and joined the remaining squad in Durham, as informed by the BCCI on Saturday.

The trio was sent in precautionary isolation after Garani’s test report returned a positive result earlier this month. Wirddhiman Saha and Abhimanyu Easwaran had missed India’s 3-day tour match versus County Select XI due to the same reason.

Sharing the pictures of the three members of the Indian contingent rejoining the Indian squad, BCCI tweeted, “Great to have you back gents 😊 #TeamIndia bowling coach B.Arun, @Wriddhipops, and Abhimanyu Easwaran have joined the team in Durham.”

The young Indian wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant also contracted the virus during Team India’s 21-day break after the completion of the World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand in Southampton. Pant has recovered and joined the squad in Durham last week.

After rejoining the Indian team, Rishabh Pant tweeted, “Thrilled to be back. Thank you @RaviShastriOfc for this grand welcome”, along with the pictures of him with the head coach, Ravi Shastri.

KL Rahul donned the gloved for India in the absence of Pant and Saha in the tour match which ended in a draw on Thursday. The tour match saw pacer Avesh Khan and all-rounder Washington Sundar getting injured while fielding and batting respectively. The two players are likely to return home soon. India will play another intra-squad match before the start of the 5-match Test series against England from August 4 in Nottingham. The series will be ending on September 14 in Manchester.
