Colombo: The Indian cricket contingent on Friday left the Sri Lankan shores after completing a six-match white-ball series but visiting all-rounder Krunal Pandya remained in mandatory isolation to recover from COVID-19. However, it couldn't be confirmed whether the two UK-bound players — Suryakumar Yadav and Prithvi Shaw — are leaving from the Sri Lankan capital itself or will be coming back to India on a charter plane with the rest of the squad before flying off again. India lost the T20 series 1-2 after several players of the squad had to be isolated owing to Krunal's infection. "Yes, only Krunal will have to stay back in Sri Lanka for the time being due to the mandatory isolation period of one week," a senior BCCI official told.
