Shiran Fernando sent to isolation

By Bipin Dani

Only Shiran Fernando has returned a second positive COVID-19 test, and has been sent to self-isolation.

The two others, who returned false-positives on Saturday, Isuru Udana and bowling coach Chaminda Vaas, are CVOID-19 negative, it was confirmed.

Pace bowler Fernando tested positive in Sri Lanka shortly before the tour but recovered in time.

Interestingly, the third PCR test, which was done on May 22 had returned three positive tests from the Sri Lankan contingent and two from the Bangladesh squad (bus driver and support staff member).

However, on a special request, the tests were again repeated and the new results found all negative except Fernando.

The next PCR tests are scheduled to be held on May 27, the day before the final ODI. However, owing to the recent false test results, more tests may also be conducted.
