A member of the Indian women’s hockey team participating in the Asian Champions Trophy here has tested positive for COVID-19, resulting in the cancellation of their match against hosts Korea on Wednesday.

Though the Asian Hockey Federation is yet to come out with a formal statement on the issue, a Hockey India source confirmed that one of its players had tested positive for the Coronavirus. The AHF statement is also expected to clear the air on India’s participation in the remainder of the tournament. “Yes, a player has tested positive so today’s game against Korea has been cancelled. The AHF will come out with further statement on the matter,” the source said.
