The count-down for the Commonwealth Games 2022 has started, but even before that India is facing one setback after another. First 5 Indian players got out due to doping. Then Neeraj Chopra, a strong contender for the gold medal, has been out of the Commonwealth Games due to injury. At the same time, now the Indian team is in trouble due to the corona of 2 women cricketers. Batsman S Meghna and all-rounder Pooja Vastrakar have been hit by Corona and were forced to stay in India.

2 cricketers in the grip of corona

India has to play the first match against Australia and before this match, India has got 2 setbacks. Team India left for Birmingham on Sunday morning, but Pooja and Meghna could not accompany the team. BCCI President Sourav Ganguly had earlier confirmed the same member to be Corona positive. An official of the Indian Olympic Association told PTI that Pooja Vastrakar and Meghna have been hit by Corona and both are in India.

Pakistan's challenge after Australia

At the same time, a BCCI source said that both the players can join the team only when the corona report of both comes negative. Both the players are not even likely to play in the first match. The Indian team will take the field against Pakistan after facing the challenge of Australia. The Indian team will play its last league match on August 3. Before entering the Commonwealth Games, Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur said that we are curious about this. We don't get a chance to experience it very often. The opening ceremony is going to be special for all of us.
