The left-armer featured on Day 1 of the warm-up game, scoring an unbeaten 15 for his side. However, he suffered sickness and diarrhoea the same night.

"England all-rounder Sam Curran has had sickness and diarrhoea overnight. He is feeling better this afternoon, and has been self-isolating in his room at the Ageas Bowl," ECB said in a statement on Thursday.

"He has been monitored by the team doctor throughout and was tested for COVID-19 earlier today," the board added.

Since June 23, a 30-member England training group has been at the Ageas Bowl, preparing for the three-match Test series against West Indies which will be played in a bio-secure environment.
