The players infected with corona are all-rounder Dhananjaya de Silva, pacer Asita Fernando, and spinner Jeffrey Vandersay.

According to a report in Cricinphone, the management tested the entire Sri Lankan team for COVID-19 after learning about the illness. Three people were reported positive on Wednesday.  Star all-rounder Angela Mathews left the field on the third day after being covid-19 positive in the first Test in Galle.

After this, left-arm spinner Praveen Jayawickrama was attacked. However, with Mathews recovering from isolation, there is a possibility of getting him in the second Test.
