Covid-19 Scare For Team India: Rishabh Pant, Training Assistant Dayanand Garani Test Positive; Three More Isolate
  • 3 years ago
Two members of the Indian cricket team touring England, wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant & training assistant Dayanand Garani, have tested positive for Covid-19. While Pant has been under quarantine for over a week at a relative’s house, Garani has been isolated at a London hotel where the entire squad had checked in earlier this week. Three others, wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha, opener Abhimanyu Easwaran & bowling coach B Arun, have been identified as close contacts of Garani. They have been asked to confine themselves to their rooms for 10 days as a precaution. The Indian team, minus Pant and the four others in isolation, has moved from London to Durham where they will play a practice game before the first Test against England on August 4. BCCI, in a press statement, said Pant was “asymptomatic” & “will be able to join the squad in Durham after returning two negative RT-PCR tests.” Watch the video to know more.
