The first one-day international between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will be played despite a virus scare in the visitors' camp with one player testing positive, the Bangladesh Cricket Board said.

Sri Lanka Cricket officials said earlier that players Isuru Udana and Shiran Fernando and bowling coach Chaminda Vaas were found to be infected ahead of the match in Dhaka after undergoing tests a day earlier.

The trip underwent a second round of tests, with Fernando returning another positive result while Udana and Vaas tested negative, Bangladesh Cricket Board spokesman Jalal Yunus told AFP.

“Shiran has been isolated as per our Covid-19 protocol. But the match will go ahead according to ICC (International Cricket Council) rules,” Yunus said.
