Avishka misses Zimbabwe series after testing Covid positive

Top-order batter Avishka Fernando will miss the ODI series with Zimbabwe after testing positive for Covid-19 ahead of entering the team bubble today. 

Sri Lanka are likely to recall Kusal Mendis for the squad as he has passed the fitness tests after his international cricket ban was lifted.

According to Sri Lanka Cricket's medical staff, Fernando has received three vaccinations.

The booster dose, however, was administered less than two weeks ago.

Only Fernando has returned a positive test so far.
