Entire Afghan team tests negative for COVID-19 ahead of series against Bangladesh | Cricket News – Times of India

Several members of Afghanistan’s touring party in Bangladesh, including some players, had tested positive for COVID-19 a couple of days ago.
The series comprising three ODIs and two T20Is is scheduled to get underway on February 23 in Chattogram.
“…ahead of the start of the ODI series between Afghanistan and Bangladesh, all Afghan players and support staff have returned negative results in the second Rapid Antigen Covid-19 tests conducted on Wednesday, February 16,” the ACB said in a statement.
“The players went into isolation on February 15 in Sylhet where they are undergoing a week-long training and conditioning camp ahead of the ODI series after several members of the Afghanistan Team tested positive for Covid-19 on Tuesday morning.”
Afghanistan had to cancel their practice session on Tuesday after some members of the touring party tested positive for the virus.
With the confirmation of negative COVID-19 tests, the Afghanistan team’s preparations resumed from Thursday.
“The ACB is monitoring the situation closely and the players alongside the management and the coaching group will remain under the constant supervision of the ACB Medical Team.”
