The Indian team management has its fingers crossed as skipper Rohit Sharma races against time to be fit for the rescheduled fifth and final Test match against England beginning on July 1.

The current protocol for a Covid-19 positive player is isolation of five days and thereafter a negative RT-PCR test to rejoin the team. As Rohit had tested positive on June 25, a negative test on June 30 should make him eligible to lead the Test team and decisively complete the unfinished five-match series that has been in limbo since last year.
