Prithvi Shaw and Suryakumar Yadav have joined the Indian team at Lord’s in London after completing their mandatory 10-day quarantine. The duo will be available for selection from the third Test onwards.
Shaw and Yadav were a part of the ODI and T20I squad that travelled to Sri Lanka, and they featured in both series. Both of them subsequently flew down from to the United Kingdom.
Shaw and Suryakumar were named as late replacements in the Test squad after Shubman Gill and Washington Sundar were ruled out of the entire tour due to injuries. The Mumbai duo landed in the UK on the 3rd of August and were subjected to 10 days of hard quarantine.
Both Shaw and Suryakumar played four games each on the tour to Sri Lanka. Suryakumar was adjudged the player of the series in the ODI series as he got scores of 31 not out, 53 and 40 in the three games before he notched up another half-century in the first T20I.
Meanwhile, Shaw fared decently as well and had scores of 43, 13 and 49 in the three ODIs before registering a duck on T20I debut.
However, their tour was cut short as they were deemed as close contacts to Krunal Pandya, who tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of the second T20I. That forced them to go into self-isolation, but they returned negative reports before flying down to the United Kingdom.
