India and Kolkata Knight Riders fast bowler Prasidh Krishna has tested positive for Covid-19. Krishna becomes the fourth player from the Knight Riders camp to have tested positive after Varun Chakravarthy, Sandeep Warrier and Tim Seifert.
Details on the whereabouts of Krishna – whether he is isolating at a medical facility or at his home in Bengaluru – could not be confirmed. On Friday the BCCI had named Krishna among the four standbys for the World Test Championship final and the Test series in England.
Krishna, 25, made his India debut earlier this year in the ODI series against England in Pune and picked six wickets in three matches.
Chakravarthy and Warrier were the first two players to test positive for Covid-19 not just from the Knight Riders camp but in the 2021 IPL, which was postponed indefinitely. It later emerged that Wriddhiman Saha of the Sunrisers Hyderabad and Amit Mishra of the Delhi Capitals had also tested positive, followed by Mike Hussey, the batting coach of the Chennai Super Kings.
On Saturday, NZC announced that Seifert had also tested positive and he would stay back in India before flying back to New Zealand.
