Manchester,10/9:
Clouds are clouded over the fate of the fifth Test between India and England. After a long discussion between the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) on Thursday and Friday, it has been decided that the Test match starting in Manchester from Friday will no longer be played. The England Cricket Board has confirmed that the fifth Test to be played at Old Trafford will no longer take place. Due to the fear of further increase in the number of corona cases inside the camp, India is unable to field the team.
The result of the series has not been decided yet. Earlier it was being said that India lost the 5th Test match and the series was completed 2-2, but after that the ECB removed this part from its press release. It is now being said that India have not lost the 5th Test and the series is still in favor of India with a 2-1 lead. The ECB has also given the Indian cricket team the option of completing the 5th Test next year when they tour England for a white-ball series.
