England v India: Fifth test match cancelled over visitors’ Covid concerns

England’s fifth cricket test match against India at Emirates Old Trafford was cancelled after some of the tourists’ backroom staff tested positive for Covid.

The series-deciding Test between England and India has been cancelled on the morning of the match after the tourists were unable to field a team due to concerns over Covid.

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said: “We send our sincere apologies to fans and partners. We know it will cause immense disappointment and inconvenience to many.”
