Leicester: Senior off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who did not travel to the United Kingdom along with his India team-mates for the one-off 'fifth Test' after testing positive for COVID-19, has joined the side in Leicester, according to sources.
Ashwin, who is in quarantine, joined his team-mates at Leicester where India is playing a warm-up match.
The Indian team had left for the UK on June 16.
"Yes, Ashwin has joined the team but he is still recovering. He is not fit to play the warm-up game," a source said.
The team management is hopeful that he will recover in time for the Test against England, which starts on July 1.
After the IPL, Ashwin had played a Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) league red-ball match where he had bowled 20 overs to get some long-form game time. (PTI)
