London: England spinner Jack Leach has admitted that he had coronavirus-like symptoms when he was in South Africa and he is not sure if he had the deadly disease itself.
Leach had been part of the England team that played a four-match Test series against South Africa between December and January and had to go back home before the third Test after suffering from sepsis.
Leach, however, says that had he exhibited the symptoms he had in South Africa, he would be suspected to have coronavirus. ‘I do kind of wonder whether I had it in South Africa. If you had the symptoms I had in South Africa now, you would think ‘this is definitely coronavirus’,” Leach said.
“I picked up this cough, temperature and just felt shattered. And having been through what I’d been through in New Zealand — with the medication I was on — I struggled to fight that off. I just remember feeling like my energy levels were so low,” he said. (IANS)
