SYDNEY: The Sheffield Shield match between New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria, which was scheduled to be played on Friday, will now start on Saturday at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) after Victoria all-rounder Will Sutherland's Covid-19 test results came out to be positive. Sutherland, who is fully vaccinated, was displaying mild symptoms, Cricket Victoria was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au. He must be quarantined for 10 days at the team hotel before returning to Melbourne.
"While it is impossible to remove all risk from this situation, Will was relatively non-infectious during his periods of interaction with members of the Victorian team," Cricket Australia's (CA) chief medical officer, Dr. John Orchard, said in a statement.
Currently, Sutherland is the only Victoria squad member known to have the Covid-19 virus. IANS
