Who won Test series

series draw

First the news came that the England Cricket Board is saying that since the match has been canceled due to Corona in the Indian team, India should forfeit the match i.e. give a walkover. If this happens, England will get one point and the series will be level with two. The ECB's argument behind this is that since the Indians have refused to play the match, England should be declared the winner. 

India's victory

Since it is the period of Corona, then there will be a possibility of such a disaster already. Therefore, India should not be blamed for the cancellation of the match. In such a situation, India will win the series 2-1.

Result postponed

Since the cancellation of the match is like a natural disaster, then both the boards may decide that this match should be postponed for the time being and the winner or result of the series should be declared whenever it happens next. Since there is a good relationship in ECB-BCCI, then a mutual decision is expected.
