Ban vs SL: Bizzare! First ODI to go ahead as planned despite a COVID-19 positive case in Sri Lanka squad

One player has returned a positive test hours before the 1st ODI between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

The first ODI between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh set to be played later today (May 23) will be going ahead as planned despite a COVID-19 positive case in the visitors’ squad. Hours before the match, there was a scare as three members of the Sri Lanka contingent -- two players and one coach returned with a positive COVID-19 test report. However, the second RT-PCR report has revealed that two were false positives and now just one player has returned a positive test, hence the match would be going ahead, reported ESPNcricinfo.
