New Delhi, May 19: Wicketkeeper-batsman KS Bharat will be travelling to the UK with the India men’s squad for the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand and five-match Test series against England.
The wicket-keeper is cover for Wriddhiman Saha who has just recovered from Covid-19. Although Saha has recovered in time to enter the bio-bubble in Mumbai before leaving for the UK on June 2, the selection committee did not take any chances and they decided to add Bharat to the group with an eye on the COVID-19 protocols and guidelines.
Speaking to ANI, sources in the know of developments said it was a precautionary step with an eye on Saha’s recovery from COVID-19.
The BCCI had made a foolproof plan for the national team before they depart for the UK to play the World Test Championship. (ANI)
