English all-rounder Sam Curran, who had self-isolated himself after encountering sickness and diarrhoea and subsequently had taken a Covid-19 test, has now tested negative for the virus. The 22-year-old is now expected to return to training and join the rest of his teammates in the next 48 hours.

In what has come as a huge sigh of relief for both the English players and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), all-rounder Sam Curran has returned a negative test result for the Covid-19 virus. The left-arm pacer had self-isolated himself on the evening of July 2 after suffering sickness and diarrhoea, as a result of which he was required to take a Covid-19 test, but much to the relief of the players, management and fans, the 22-year-old has returned a negative result. 

Curran was at the Ageas Bowl with other English cricketers, who are currently partaking in an intra-squad warm-up match ahead of their three-Test series versus the Windies when the whole incident unfolded, and after showing signs of sickness, the young star underwent a Covid-19 Test last night (Thursday).

The results are said to have come back in the afternoon today and due to him returning a negative result, it is expected that Curran will rejoin his teammates sometime within the next 48 hours. The ECB medical staff are also said to be keeping a close eye on the 22-year-old’s progress. 

Despite England not having announced their final squad for the Windies Tests, Curran is expected to be a part of the same. The two teams - England and West Indies - are currently functioning within a bio-secure environment and the first of the three Tests will be played at the Ageas Bowl on July 8.
