India women’s T20I captain Harmanpreet Kaur has tested positive for COVID-19 and is experiencing mild symptoms. The right-handed batter who missed the T20I series against South Africa at home after getting injured during the fifth ODI got tested herself after having mild fever.
A source close to the cricketer told PTI that she is got tested herself and the result of the tests came out to be positive. The source further added that the batter is self-isolating at home.
“She is self-isolating at home. She got tested yesterday and the report came positive today morning. She had mild fever since four days so thought it was best to get tested. She is doing fine otherwise and should recover soon,” a source close to the player told PTI.
“She was getting tested regularly during the South Africa series so she must have caught the virus after that only,” the source added.
Kaur took to Twitter and wrote,”Unfortunately, I have tested positive for COVID-19. I am feeling ok and have quarantined myself by following all the guidelines advised by the authorities and my doctors.”
“By god’s grace and your well wishes, I will be back on the field soon. I urge you to all wear masks and stay safe,” she added.
