Sri Lanka v India 2nd T20 postponed after virus infection

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — The second Twenty20 between Sri Lanka and India scheduled on Tuesday was pushed back by a day after India allrounder Krunal Pandya tested positive for COVID-19.

The second match of three will be played on Wednesday.

Pandya’s positive followed tests of the squad early Tuesday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India said.

Eight members of the touring party have been identified as close contacts, and the squad is undergoing more tests to ascertain whether there is an outbreak, BCCI secretary Jay Shah said.

India won the first T20 by 38 runs on Sunday.
