India's players have been in England since taking on New Zealand in the World Test Championship final at the Ageas Bowl last month but they were then given time off.
Pant posted Instagram photographs from England's Euro 2020 match against Germany at Wembley. It isn't known where Pant contracted the virus but he spent a week in quarantine at the home of UK relatives.
It came after India’s governing body the BCCI confirmed net bowler Dayanand Garani had also tested positive.
