“He has been monitored by the team doctor throughout and was tested for coronavirus earlier today,” the statement added, without mentioning when the result will be available.

Curran had scored 15 not out on the first day of England’s intra-squad warm-up match.

The warm-up match is a part of England’s preparation for the three-match Test series against the West Indies beginning on July 8.

The Tests will mark the resumption of international cricket after the coronavirus-forced hiatus.
