New Zealand batsman Finn Allen, who plays for IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore, tested positive for COVID-19 on arrival in Bangladesh on Tuesday (August 24). Allen, who represented the Birmingham Phoenix in England's new Hundred competition, is fully vaccinated and passed all his pre-departure tests in England - before testing positive 48 hours after arrival in Dhaka. He has been quarantined at the team's hotel and immediate advice is that he is experiencing moderate symptoms. Allen is receiving treatment from the Bangladesh Cricket Board's chief medical officer; has been in contact with NZC's chief medical officer, and will be monitored during his stay in quarantine by BlackCaps doctor Pat McHugh. Once he has undergone treatment and the statutory period of isolation, and has tested negative for COVID-19 on consecutive days, he will be cleared to re-join his teammates.
