Earlier Indian coaches Ravi Shastri, Bharat Arun and R Sridhar had to isolate themselves after Shastri tested positive for coronavirus.

Following which, all members of Team India had to undergo the RT-PCR test.

England, who are down 1-2 to India in the series, will have to win the fifth Test to avoid series defeat.
