Devon Conway has become the third member of the New Zealand Test squad to test positive for Covid-19, with two of the tourists’ backroom staff also caught up in a growing outbreak.
Jamie Overton has been called up for England’s final Test against New Zealand, joining twin brother Craig in a 14-man squad.
Kane Williamson and Michael Bracewell, New Zealand batter Devon Conway has also tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of the third Test match against England on June 23 in Leeds, New Zealand Cricket Board confirmed on Thursday. "Conway undertook a PCR test on arrival in London on Wednesday evening in preparation for a team activity," an official statement released by New Zealand Cricket read.
Ahead of the first Test of the two-match series against Bangladesh, West Indies pacer Kemar Roach has been added to the squad. West Indies and England will be squaring for the two-match Test series, with the first match to be played on Thursday, here at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. The experienced fast bowler passed a fitness assessment and was added as the 13th player into the squad.
New Zealand batter Devon Conway has tested positive for COVID-19 after taking a PCR Test on arrival in London on Wednesday. Conway has begun five days of isolation ahead of the third and final Test, which will be played at Headingley from June 23 to 27. Apart from Conway, all-rounder Michael Bracewell and two members of New Zealand's support staff have also tested Covid positive and have begun their isolation.
Rumors of the death of Test cricket abound, but it is alive and well after the exhilarating match between England and New Zealand at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, which ended in coruscating fashion on Tuesday. Under a new coach and captain, the first a former captain of New Zealand and the second born there, England’s approach has become fearless, adventurous and positive, even bordering on reckless. It certainly felt that way at times over the five days, all of which I was able to watch live in person.
Members of the Indian Test squad on Thursday left for England to begin preparations for the rescheduled fifth Test in July. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared snaps ahead of the contingent's departure. "England bound. Snapshots as #TeamIndia takes off for England," the BCCI captioned the post. Virat Kohli, Mohammed Siraj, Cheteshwar Pujara and Jasprit Bumrah are among the players who can be spotted in the picture, and notably, Ravindra Jadeja as well, who suffered an injury during the recently concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season.
Stuart Broad says England coach Brendon McCullum inspired the dramatic second Test victory against New Zealand by telling his team to "run towards the danger". McCullum has revitalised England in union with new captain Ben Stokes and the improvement generated by the fresh regime's positive attitude has been remarkable. England had failed to win any of their previous five Test series, winning just one match from 17 prior to the current New Zealand contest. But after beating the Test world champions by five wickets for a second successive match, England will head to Headingley next week looking to complete a clean sweep.
