India’s white-ball vice-captain and batting mainstay Rohit Sharma has no idea about the status of last month’s abandoned fifth Test against England in Manchester, but he is quite clear in his mind that his team “won” the hard-fought series 2-1.

The fifth Test in Manchester was abandoned after Team India’s junior physio Yogesh Parmar tested positive for COVID-19 and was found to be in direct contact of players. This was after some senior members of the Indian support staff also found to be infected. The BCCI has agreed to play the fifth Test in July, 2022. BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has said that it will be an extension of this year’s series and not a one-off game that England want.
