The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has taken cognisance of the Covid-19 outbreak in the England camp but has refused to intervene in the already decided schedule of players, PTI reported.
The board has said that it has not asked players to cut down the length of their break from the game amid the chaos around Covid-19.
"We are aware of the situation. Obviously, ECB and the local health authorities will provide us with any change in existing health safety protocols and that will be strictly followed. But we haven't been told anything as of now. The players have not yet been told to cut short their downtime," PTI quoted an unnamed BCCI official.
The members of the Indian contingent on the tour of England are in mid of their two-week-long break before they will turn up in a five-match long Test series against the hosts.
However, in the aftermath of as many as seven cases reported from the England cricket team after the series against Sri Lanka, there have been questions surrounding the implications of such a long break where players are allowed to live freely in cities on their health.
The Test series between India and England will start in the first week of August in Nottingham.
