Sri Lanka cricket team batting coach Grant Flower tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday and has been isolated from the rest of the squad.

“When we tested the team about two days ago after they arrived from England, everybody was negative,” said Sri Lanka Cricket CEO Ashley de Silva.

“Today (Thursday) Grant had the flu, and so they tested him again, and the results were positive. He has been isolated. He has not been in touch with any of the team members as he was in his hotel room after the team returned from England,” he said.

Flower has been sent to an intermediate centre where he will have to undergo quarantine for 14 days. (ST)
