NEW DELHI: Prithvi Shaw and Suryakumar Yadav's departure from Sri Lanka to join the Indian Test squad in England may be delayed after they were sent into isolation for being in close contact with Krunal Pandya, who has tested positive for Covid-19 in the island nation.
The two were expected to leave immediately after the culmination of the white ball series in Sri Lanka. The series ends after Thursday night's third T20I.
"They will travel to England when the formalities are completed," an official told IANS.
The Indian Test squad in England has already seen three of the players being ruled out. While opener Subman Gill withdrew due to leg injury and has since returned home, off-spin bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar has hurt his finger, and pace bowler Avesh Khan, who was among the standby players, has suffered fracture his left thumb.
