Sundar tests positive for Covid-19

CHENNAI, Jan 11: India all-rounder Washington Sundar has tested positive for Covid-19 and is now doubtful for the three-match ODI series against South Africa, starting January 19. The 22-year-old spinner was to travel to Cape Town from Mumbai along with other members of the ODI squad but there is no clarity if he has joined the others in Maharashtra's capital or not. If Washington doesn't travel in the chartered flight along with the other selected players, he could be individually flown to South Africa by the BCCI at a later date. However, the chances are very slim at the moment. "He (Sundar) tested positive some days back and it has been decided that he will not travel with the squad," an office-bearer confirmed to Cricbuzz on Tuesday.
