Sri Lanka's cricket board said Saturday that a one-day series against India would be postponed for five days because of a Covid-19 outbreak in the Sri Lankan camp. Several Sri Lankan players and officials have been put into isolation after batting coach Grant Flower and a team data analyst tested positive for coronavirus on Friday. Flower, 50, had returned from England - where Sri Lanka had played a one-day and Twenty20 international series - when he showed coronavirus symptoms. Soon after the Sri Lanka team's return, three players and four support staff members of the England team also tested positive for Covid-19. Three Sri Lankan players who violated their bio-secure bubble in England were sent back to their home country and now are facing disciplinary action.
