Chamikara Karunaratne.
Fast bowling all-rounder Chamika Karunaratne is the latest member of the Sri Lanka team to Australia to be tested COVID-19 positive.
Karunaratne was tested positive in the final PCR test done on the team before they left for Australia on Wednesday. He joins three other members of the team who stayed behind – fast bowler Nuwan Thushara, interim head coach Rumesh Ratnayake and trainer Dilshan Fonseka, all of whom were tested positive earlier.
“All of them have been isolated and will join the team before the first game. Chamika and Nuwan will probably join by 10 or 11 February, Rumesh will fly out by 5 February and Dilshan somewhere on 8 or 9 February,” said SLC CEO Ashley de Silva. (ST)
