India Today
U-19 World Cup 2022; While captain Yash Dhull and 5 others recovered from Covid-19 ahead of Saturday's quarter-final against Bangladesh in Antigua, Nishant Sindhu is yet to recover and will be unavailable for the big match.
Five India players who were infected with COVID-19, including skipper Yash Dhull, have recovered and are available for the Under-19 World Cup quarterfinal against Bangladesh in Antigua on Saturday but the team has also been hit by a fresh case.
Nishant Sindhu, who captained the team in the absence of Dhull, tested positive following the final league game against Uganda and won't be available for the knock-out match.
Left-arm spinner Aneeshwar Gautam will be coming in to replace Sindhu in the squad.
The Indian team had struggled to put up a playing eleven on the park following the COVID outbreak in the camp.
Skipper Dhull, his deputy Shaik Rasheed, Sidharth Yadav, Aaradhya Yadav and Manav Parakh had returned positive RTPCR tests before the Ireland game.
"All are fit now, except for Sindhu," said an ICC source.
Dhull and other infected players reached Antigua on Friday morning after undergoing seven days of isolation in Trinidad.
