Only British nationals are allowed to travel from India in the current scenario and they need to serve out a 10-day quarantine at a government approved facility.
Taylor wasn’t picked for the first test on his spectacular first tour to India. He was a late callup on the morning of the second test when Barry Sinclair fell ill. His debut was before a 30,000-strong crowd, cramming every vantage point. In that cauldron, Taylor achieved his still-unmatched feat. Scoring a century and taking five wickets in an innings has been achieved only 32 times in test cricket, and just once by a debutant: B.R Taylor who hit 105 in 158 minutes then snared 5-86 after being thrown the new ball. Bert Sutcliffe scored 151 not out as the pair added a memorable 163, each guiding the other to their respective milestones. Taylor, batting No 8, took some calming down, he recalled.
