Perth, Oct 25: Star Australia spinner Adam Zampa on Tuesday missed his team’s must-win T20 World Cup match against Sri Lanka after testing positive for COVID-19.
According to a report in Dailytelegraph, Zampa’s “symptoms are not necessarily severe” but the defending champions decided to leave him out as a precautionary measure.
“Zampa is all right. We have four games in four different states in quick time. So just a precautionary thing,” pacer Mitchell Starc said ahead of the match.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) rules don’t bar a player from taking part in a match if he or she is Covid-positive.
Recently, Ireland’s George Dockrell had played against Sri Lanka despite being Covid positive.
Australia picked Ashton Agar for the match, giving him a chance to play at home soil.
Agar, who had played just one match in the last edition of the T20 World Cup, featured in the warm-up game against India. (PTI)
