Mayank Agarwal called up after India record seven positive Covid tests

After a number of positive Covid-19 results, India have called up Mayank Agarwal for the upcoming three-match ODI series against West Indies.

As part of India’s pre-series testing program, three members of the playing squad, one standby player, and three coaches have returned positive RT-PCR tests.

The squad was instructed to undergo testing at home and to travel to Ahmedabad only after receiving negative results. In addition, opening batter Shikhar Dhawan, standby bowler Navdeep Saini, and coaches Dilip and B. Lokesh all returned positive results from Monday’s preliminary testing.

After testing negative on Monday, Ruturaj Gaikwad returned a positive result on Tuesday. Similarly, batter Shreyas Iyer and massage therapist Rajeev Kumar have returned positive results in Wednesday’s third round of testing.

The players and coaches with positive results will remain in isolation until they have fully recovered.

Agarwal is the only player to be included in the ODI squad.

There will be a three-match ODI series against West Indies starting on Sunday 6 February, followed by a T20I series from Wednesday 16 February to Sunday 20 February.
