Colombo, July 27: With all-rounder Krunal Pandya testing positive for Covid-19, the second T20I between India and Sri Lanka on Tuesday (July 27) has been postponed and is likely to take place on Wednesday (July 28) if the rest test negative.
Apparently, eight close contacts of Krunal has been placed under isolation and all of them are from Indian camp.
"The second T20I between Sri Lanka and India originally scheduled to be played on July 27 has been pushed forward by a day and will now take place on Wednesday, July 28," said the BCCI in a media release.
"Following the Rapid Antigen Tests conducted ahead of the match on Tuesday morning, Team India all-rounder Krunal Pandya was found to be positive. The Medical Teams have identified eight members as close contacts.
"The entire contingent is undergoing RT-PCR tests today to ascertain any further outbreak in the squad," the BCCI said.
Krunal has tested COVID-19 positive and that forced the two teams to go into isolation till reports come in of the rest of the players. It means that the team's departure back to India too could be delayed as per Covid 19 protocols.
This puts a question mark on opener Prithvi Shaw as well as Suryakumar Yadav as they were set to travel to England as replacement for the Test series against England.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday informed that the All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Prithvi Shaw and Suryakumar Yadav as replacements for the upcoming Test series against England as all-rounder Washington Sundar, batsman Shubman Gill and pacer Avesh Khan have been ruled out of the tour due to injuries.
As per the BCCI media release, Sundar had taken an injection on his right-hand bowling finger during the three-day practice game against County Select XI.
However, his recovery will take longer than expected and he is not bowling-fit. As a result, the spinner has been ruled out of the remainder of the England tour. Fast bowler Avesh Khan suffered a blow to his left thumb on Day 1 of the warm-up game.
He was taken for an X-Ray and the result confirmed a fracture. A specialist was consulted for further management of his injury. He is ruled out of India's Tour of England.
