Jayawickrama ruled out of second Australia Test after COVID positive result

Sri Lankan spinner, Praveen Jayawickrama, has tried positive in front of the second Test in Galle versus Australia and has hence been precluded. It comes as a strong blow for the hosts who were looking for equality subsequent to surrendering the principal Test by 10 wickets in three days or less. "The player was viewed as Covid good when he was tried (Rapid Antigen Test) toward the beginning of today, as he griped of feeling unwell," a SLC discharge said on Monday (July 4). "Jayawickrama was quickly disengaged from the remainder of the colleagues and presently will stay in room disconnection for five days." The rest of the Sri Lankan group has returned negative tests and will contend in a bid to even out the series. Jayawickrama is the second Sri Lankan player after Angelo Mathews who had tried positive during the main Test. SLC are trusting Mathews recuperates so as to be accessible for the second and last Test of the series that is planned to start on Friday.
