England captain Joe Root says it has been difficult to get continuity within team due to Covid-19

England captain Joe Root it has been difficult for the team to get any consistency in backing players or rotating the squad due to the circumstances created by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Continuity within the England Test squad has been hampered by the circumstances created by the Covid-19 pandemic, says captain Joe Root. However, the players have been working hard and their work ethics cannot be questioned, Root said, backing his under-fire players ahead of the second Test against India. England were skittled out for 183 in their first innings to concede a 95-run lead to India. Root then scored a second innings hundred as the hosts managed 303 to set India a tricky target. The match, however, ended in a draw after rain washed out the final day.
