(COLOMBO, LANKAPUVATH) –Bangladesh batsman Saif Hassan and the team’s new strength and conditioning coach, Nick Lee, on Tuesday returned positive for COVID-19 following the first round of tests conducted by the country’s apex cricket body.
Both members of the squad have gone on self-isolation.
Hassan made his Test debut earlier this year.
“Our consultant for COVID-19 is reviewing Lee’s case to determine whether it is a new or previous infection before advising on the management plan,” Bangladesh Cricket Board’s (BCB) sports physician Dr Debashis Chowdhury was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
A training camp for a scheduled tour of Sri Lanka tour in October-November is likely to take place later this month.
