Mominul tests positive

Bangladesh Test captain Mominul Haque became the latest cricketer to be infected by the coronavirus. The left-hander had himself tested on Monday due to slight symptoms and the report yesterday came positive.

"I was feeling slightly feverish a couple of days back. So I got tested yesterday and the result came out positive," said  Mominul yesterday.

"My wife has also tested positive. We are in home quarantine," the Test skipper said, adding that he has mild fever.

Mominul became the second national cricketer to test positive this week after T20 captain Mahmudullah Riyad tested positive earlier in the week which forced him out of the PSL playoffs.

Meanwhile, the second and final day of the mandatory fitness test of the cricketers outside the national, high performance, and under-19 side, completed yesterday.

Nasir Hossain and Sohag Gazi failed the fitness test for the second consecutive day.
