The two cricket boards of Sri Lanka and India, following discussions, rescheduled their bilateral white-ball series yesterday (10) owing to the existing Covid-19 situation, particularly in the Sri Lanka squad. This third positive test, that of reportedly Sandun Weerakkody, meant two ‘bio bubbles’ of the home team for the Indo white-ball series are now breached. The situation will force Sri Lanka squad to spend a couple of more days in isolation and face another round of RT-PCR test. It is also understood that, due to Weerakkody’s positive test, Asela Gunaratne, Angelo Perera, and Rajapaksa –Weerakkody’s close contacts– have also been sent to quarantine. That could well be an eventuality which might spell disaster on the already pandemic-hit and extensively complicated India limited-over series.
