England all-rounder Sam Curran tested negative for Covid-19 on Friday, 3rd July. The player self-isolated himself after he fell ill on Wednesday and was withdrawn from the remaining part of England’s intra-team warmup match. Curran was representing Jos Buttler’s team in the warmup.
Curran developed sickness and was diagnosed with Diarrhoea and was suggested to test for the COVID-19. He was in quarantine at his team hotel at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton.
The negative report of Curran’s test means that the England vs West Indies series is safe to go ahead. Had Curran’s report been positive, the players who came in close contact with Curran would have been isolated and raised a lot of questions over the future of the tour and the bio-secure bubble.
Curran will return to training in a day or two and will now be a part of thet esting regime which will be applicable to all the players.
