India captain Rohit Sharma posts smiling snap from quarantine ahead of England Test

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma provided his fan a glimpse into his life in isolation after testing positive for COVID-19 recently.

Rohit Instagrammed a picture to his 24.2m followers from the hotel room where he is quarantined. In the picture, the opening batsman is seen smiling and giving a thumbs up.

After Rohit tested positive, the BCCI has taken note of the situation and advised players in England to limit their public appearances and hangouts and stay indoors.

A source from BCCI told ANI, "The board has scolded some players over their habit of hanging out in public. It also seems some players went in public and clicked pictures with fans, which could be dangerous. We had told them to stay careful but they still often roamed around in the city which is not required, so we asked them again to take precautions."

The Indian board also confirmed that opener Mayank Agarwal has been added to the Test squad ahead of the rescheduled Edgbaston Test against England as a cover for Rohit.

The rescheduled fifth Test is counted as the fifth match of India's 2021 series in England, which the visitors lead by 2-1. The fifth Test was postponed at the last minute following a COVID-19 outbreak in 2021.
