India spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Krishnappa Gowtham have tested positive for Covid-19 in Colombo three days after Krunal Pandya returned a positive test. The second T20 International between India and Sri Lanka had to be postponed and it was eventually played on Wednesday.
India were forced to play the final two T20Is without as many as 9 of their best players on the tour after 8 players were deemed to be in close contact with Krunal Pandya. All the players were tested and Yuzvendra Chahal and Krishnappa Gowtham returned positive tests. Both players are asymptomatic.
India's tour of Sri Lanka was impacted by the coronavirus. The ODI series had to be postponed by 5 days after two members of the Sri Lankan support staff tested positive for Covid-19.
Earlier in England, Rishabh Pant had tested positive for Covid-19 and he was isolated alongside Wriddhiman Saha, Abhimanyu Easwaran and Bharat Arun.
During the IPL, several players had tested positive for Covid-19 and the tournament was eventually suspended. The 2021 IPL will resume in the UAE from September 19.
