Discussions focused on the outstanding issues along the LAC in the Western Sector," During the meet, both the ministers discussed about the status of LAC (Line of Actual Control) disengagement and implementation of the Moscow agreement and also spoke about creating a hotline for timely communication.

One of the 23 Indian cricketers in the ongoing tour of England has tested positive for covid-19 and will not be travelling to Durham with the team. The news came in after BCCI secretary Jay Shah sent an email to the Indian contingent warning them about the rising cases of covid-19 in the United Kingdom. On the condition of being anonymous, a BCCI source told PTI: "Yes, one of the players has tested positive although he is largely asymptomatic currently. He is in quarantine at an acquaintance's place and won't be travelling with the team to Durham on Thursday," While the team has been tight-lipped about the name of the player, there are chances that the player has been infected with the Delta variant of covid-19 since the UK is recording a rise in covid-19 cases due to the same variant. The Indian team will be facing England in a five-match test series starting on 4th August. https://youtu.be/eeBn_R7KWsY
