Patiala: Captain of the Indian women’s T20 cricket team, Harmanpreet Kaur has tested positive for COVID-19. Harmanpreet Kaur is experiencing mild symptoms. Kaur did not play in the T20 series against South Africa in Lucknow after injuring herself March 17 in the fifth ODI. She got herself tested Monday after developing mild fever. The fever had been persisting for a couple of days.
“She (Kaur) is self-isolating at home. She got tested yesterday (Monday) and the report came positive today (Tuesday) 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 said Tuesday. “Kaur was getting tested regularly during the South Africa series. So she must have been infected by the virus after that only,” the source added.
Kaur had shown decent form in the ODIs scoring a half century and a 40. However, the belligerent side of her batting was missing during the ODI series.
India, who returned to international cricket after 12 months, lost both the ODI and T20 series. In fact the Indian eves were outplayed in both formats of the game by the visitors.
