SL vs IND | Sri Lanka's data analyst also tests COVID positive after Grant Flower

After Grant Flower, Sri Lanka's data analyst GT Niroshan also has been tested positive for COVID-19. The Sri Lanka team had recently toured England for a white-ball series. A few days back, it had emerged that seven English personnel, including three players, had tested positive for the novel Coronavirus, and they were part of the series against Sri Lanka. There was a likelihood of personnel from the Lanka camp testing positive too. And the worst fears came true, first after the team's batting coach Grant Flower tested COVID positive, and now with the report of the team's data analyst.

The team and the staff were undergoing separate isolation on returning from the tour of England. However, they were supposed to form a bubble on Friday, but now it has been delayed, and they will spend two more days in isolation, followed by another round of RT-PCR tests, reported ESPN Cricinfo. One of the concerning things for the board is that both the positive members are affected by the more dangerous and contagious Delta Variant.
