Tuesday's T20 between India and Sri Lanka has been postponed after Team India's all-rounder Krunal Pandya was found to be Corona positive. If the rest of the players are found negative, then this match is likely to be played on Wednesday. Talking to news agency ANI, sources with knowledge of the matter said that Krunal has been found to be Kovid positive and both the teams will have to remain in isolation till the reports of the rest of the players come.

Let us tell you that Team India had won the first T20 match. Earlier, the team had won 2-1 in the three-match ODI series. In the absence of star players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah, India's youth team led by Shikhar Dhawan has gone on a tour of Sri Lanka, who are currently on a tour of England. Rahul Dravid is the coach of this team. Sri Lanka's batting coach Grant Flower and data analyst GT Niroshan were found infected, causing the tour to start late.

The team that visited Sri Lanka also includes Prithvi Shaw and Suryakumar Yadav, who are to be known as replacements for the tour of England. In such a situation, the question has arisen whether both the players will leave for England or not. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday informed that the selection committee has recommended Prithvi Shaw and Suryakumar Yadav as replacements for all-rounder Washington Sundar, batsman Shubman Gill and pacer Avesh Khan for the upcoming Test series against England due to injury.
