First match of the Sri Lanka-Bangladesh ODI series will go ahead as scheduled, after 2nd PCR cleared 2 members of the Sri Lankan contingent, Cricket Age reliably learns.

“Only one player has tested positive in the second test and the other two have been reported negative. So, the series will go ahead as scheduled” a top SLC official told Cricket Age.

Earlier, three members of the Sri Lankan contingent have tested positive for COVID-19, hours before the opening ODI against Bangladesh here on Sunday.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board has also ruled out the possibility of the match being called off. According to some other reports, Chaminda Vaas is the bowling coach in question, while the two infected players are Isuru Udana and Shiran Fernando.

The three-match ODI series is part of the World Cup Super League.
