TIL Desk Sports/ The second T20 International between India and Sri Lanka in Colombo on Tuesday was postponed by a day after all-rounder Krunal Pandya tested positive for COVID-19, forcing him out of the series.
As per Sri Lanka’s health safety protocols, Krunal will not be able to travel back to India with other members of the contingent on July 30 as he will now have to undergo mandatory seven-day isolation and obtain a negative RT-PCR report before travelling out of the country.
The third and final T20 is scheduled to be held on Thursday. The three-match series is set to go ahead even if there are a couple of more positive cases, as the Indian team has enough players with negative RT-PCR reports to field a team.
Krunal, who tested positive on Tuesday morning, has been quarantined and the entire contingent’s RT-PCR test reports are awaited. “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,” BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in a media statement.
