Harbhajan Singh tests positive for Covid-19

Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has tested positive for Covid-19. 

"I've tested positive for COVID with mild symptoms. I have quarantined myself at home and taking all the necessary precautions. I would request those who came in contact with me to get themselves tested at the earliest. Please be safe and take care," the right-arm bowler said in a tweet. 

Harbhajan had earlier hung his boots from all forms of cricket. "There comes a time in life, you have to take tough decisions and you have to move on. From the past year, I wanted to make an announcement, and I was waiting for the right time to share the moment with all of you. Today, I am taking retirement from all formats of cricket," he said in a statement. 

The off-spinner was a part of the Indian team that lifted the T20 World Cup in 2007 and the 50-over World Cup in 2011 under the captaincy of MS Dhoni and had scalped a Test hattrick for India against Australia.
