The Wheel is Forever
Through Thursday the BCCI engaged in discussions with the ECB on the way forward in case more cases were to break out in the Indian camp. The BCCI also put out the option of cancelling the final Test, but the ECB is understood to have made it clear that it would interpret any refusal to play as forfeiture. The BCCI was keen to avoid such a scenario as not only would it see England square the series, but it could expose them to claims of lost revenue from broadcasters and the venue. The lost revenue could be up to £30 million (INR 306 crore).

ITSTL. Shocked that BCCI was more willing to cancel than ECB.

ECB and CA have done the impossible and brought Rohit and Virat together after the post 2019 WC split. Thanks to them. :p

Manchester Test to go ahead as entire India squad tests negative

The fate of the fifth Test was in balance after India's assistant physio Yogesh Parmar tested Covid-19 positive

Anyways, this team always responds to adversity with a win. Hope we do it again and throw egg in the face of ECB for shamelessly asking for a forfeit.

Agreed on this. Shame on them in asking for a forfeit.

ECB needs to be brought down to earth by BCCI like the US did to UK during the Suez crisis. You ain't a big dog anymore.

It looks like these mid September Tests are here to stay. You can get decent weather as shown by the 2019 Test and last weekends mini heatwave. But over a number of years around half will probably be ruined.
