Chennai: All the PCR tests conducted on England cricketers turned negative and the full team would train at the M A Chidambaram here from tomorrow, ahead of the first of the two tests, beginning on February five.
The team, which landed here from Sri Lanka after winning the series 2-0 on January 27, went into bio-bubble at Leela Palace hotel and were subjected to three corona tests.
The third test was conducted yesterday.
“All PCR tests from yesterday’s test have returned negative results”, the statement said.

The Indian team, which arrived in batches on January 27, too would start training from tomorrow.
