Sydney [Australia], February 15 (ANI): Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) on Tuesday confirmed that spinner Wanindu Hasaranga has tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of the third T20I against Australia.
Australia and Sri Lanka will lock horns in the third T20I later today.
"Wanindu Hasaranga has tested positive for Covid-19. The player was found to be positive during a routine Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) conducted this morning (15th February). Hasaranga is currently undergoing Covid-19 protocols and is placed in isolation," SLC tweeted.
Earlier, the board had confirmed that Kushal Mendis has recovered from COVID-19 and he will be available for selection for the third T20I.
Australia already has a 2-0 series lead in the ongoing T20I series and if the Aaron Finch-led side wins the third T20I, they will gain an unassailable series lead.
