SA women leave after Covid fiasco
Five members of South Africa Women's Emerging team boarded a flight back home from Dhaka on Tuesday evening after returning negative results in their second Covid-19 tests conducted in the capital earlier in the day.
The five individuals, who returned positive results in the first round of tests, stayed back as the rest of the team returned on the previous day. They were put in isolation at a hotel in Dhaka and went through the second tests.
"The results from Osmani Medical College [Monday] were wrong, it showed false positive results. The five individuals underwent tests in Dhaka today [Tuesday] and all of them have tested negative. They are taking a flight back home at 6:00pm today [Tuesday]," Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) women's wing chairman Shafiul Alam Nadel told media on Tuesday.
The four players who had tested positive in the first round are: Sinalo Jafta, Leah Jones, Nobulumko Baneti, Robyn Searle. Team manager Marsia Letsoalo also tested positive.
The visitors lost the five-match one-day series against their Bangladeshi counterparts 4-0, with the last match cancelled in the wake of nationwide lockdown.
