The remainder of the Twenty20 International series between India and England will be played behind closed doors as coronavirus cases increase again in the host country.

India, who claimed a 3-1 Test series victory earlier this month, drew level with their visitors in the 20-over format with victory in Sunday's second match.

But the final three encounters will go ahead without fans in the stadiums.

Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium is hosting all five matches and welcomed supporters in large numbers for the first two limited-overs meetings.

However, India has seen another rise in positive COVID-19 tests, with over 24,000 new cases reported on Monday.

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) subsequently confirmed it had been told of the change in plans, although it added the decision would have no impact on the England team.

"We have just received confirmation that the remaining T20I matches will take place without spectators," the ECB said in a statement released to Stats Perform News.

"We have also seen the statement by the vice-president of the Gujarat Cricket Association confirming the fact.

"Aside from meaning there will be considerably less noise in the stadium, it doesn't materially affect us as we remain in our bubble and, even when crowds were in attendance, we never came into contact with any of them, and the ball was sanitised whenever it was hit into the stands."
