New Delhi: Wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha will be available for India’s tour of England next month as he has recovered from COVID-19.
According to reports, Saha returned to the city on Monday evening after serving his quarantine period at a New Delhi hotel where he had tested Covid-19 positive during the IPL earlier this month. The wicketkeeper-batsman is part of the England-bound India squad for the World Test Championship final against New Zealand and the subsequent five-Test series against England.
The 36-year-old was among the players who contracted the dreaded virus in the currently-suspended Indian Premier league while playing for SunRisers Hyderabad.
Saha will have to return another negative RT-PCR test before joining the pre-departure bio-bubble in Mumbai, where the squad will undergo hard quarantine before boarding the flight to England.
India is scheduled to take on New Zealand in the World Test Championship final from June 18 in Southampton.
Just four days back, Saha had received conflicting results in two coronavirus tests, which prolonged his isolation.
