The results from England players' Covid-19 tests conducted on Sunday have returned negative results, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The squad will begin training as a full group from Tuesday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium ahead of the Test series against Virat Kohli's men.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Up until now, only Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes, and Rory Burns had been training as they had reached India before the rest of the squad which was touring Sri Lanka for a two-Test series which Joe Root's men won 2-0.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"All PCR tests from yesterday's test have returned negative results<\/strong>," said a statement from ECB.<\/p>\r\n\r\n "The England party are now out of quarantine and will train for the first time as a full group at the stadium tomorrow afternoon 2 pm-5 pm (IST),<\/strong>" the statement added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n The England players had earlier been tested on arrival. Those tests too returned negative results.<\/p>\r\n\r\n England will be playing four Tests, five T20Is, and three ODIs. The first Test will begin on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n India only needs to win the four-match Test series against England, beginning February 5, with a 2-0 margin to seal a spot in the World Test Championship final. If they lose one Test against England though, they will need to win three matches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n England, on the other hand, needs to beat India 3-0. Even a 2-2 drawn series will not be enough for England to go past India and finish among the top two on the Test Championship final.<\/p>\r\n",
