Sydney: The England cricket team coaching staff is in the midst of a Covid-19 crisis with the touring side’s emergency coach Adam Hollioake, who was to stand in for Chris Silverwood, being deemed a close contact to a person who has tested positive for the virus.

Hollioake was planning to arrive in Sydney from Gold Coast later on Sunday ahead of the fourth Test to stand in for head coach Chris Silverwood, who is still quarantining in a hotel in Melbourne, but with the latest development, the 50-year-old Hollioake has also been ruled out.

Former England batter Graham Thorpe will now have to work with a fielding and a wicketkeeping consultant, according to dailymail.co.uk on Sunday. The fourth Ashes Tests commences at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on January 5.
