Yash Dhull and four others recover from Covid-19 and available for knockouts
Allrounder Nishant Sindhu, who led in Dhull’s absence, has, however, tested positive ahead of the quarter-final against Bangladesh
Players who test positive at the competition are expected to serve at least seven days of quarantine, which means Sindhu is also likely to be unavailable for the semi-final – against Pakistan or Australia on Wednesday – if they beat Bangladesh.
Sindhu was thrusted into the spotlight after he had to take over the captaincy for two league games, when the five members of India’s squad returned positive tests. So far, Sindhu has played a key role as an economical left-arm spinner, taking four wickets at an average of 14.25 and an economy rate of 2.75.
