Dhaka, Jan 29 -- Covid-19 has crawled its way into the ongoing Bangabandhu Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), with Minister Group Dhaka’s left-arm pacer Isuru Udana testing positive for the virus on Friday.

The Dhaka team management said that the

Sri Lankan cricketer would remain in isolation "till he tests negative for Covid". "For now, he will be under observation of the event medical team."

Isuru underwent the Covid test on Thursday and the result came out on Friday.
