India's premier red-ball spinner Ravichandran Ashwin missed his flight to England after testing positive for Covid-19. The bowling all-rounder had arrived in Mumbai with the rest of the Indian team that subsequently flew to England. However, Ashwin stayed back and is currently serving his quarantine period.

The rescheduled one-off Test is part of the red-ball series that began in August last year. The 5-match series currently stands 2-1 in India's favour. Ashwin's services were not required in England last year as India preferred playing four seamers and the all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.
