The Covid-19 positive case of Krunal Pandya during the white-ball tour of Sri Lanka has raised questions about BCCI’s medical officer on tour delaying RT-PCR test by a day, leading to eight players missing out on two T20I games.

It has now emerged that Krunal, after sensing symptoms like throat pain, had immediately red-flagged team’s accompanying doctor Abhijit Salvi on July 26 but neither was a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) done right away nor was the player immediately isolated.
