Pretorius takes field after returning negative in 2nd Covid-19 test

Ireland Wolves’ batsman Ruhan Pretorius, who had tested positive for Covid-19 on Friday, took the field on Sunday in Chattogram against the Bangladesh Emerging team after he was found negative in another test.

He had tested positive on Friday during the first game of the five-match one-day series. But in another test, the batsman returned negative and was allowed to take the field.

He showed no symptoms when he tested positive in the last attempt before the first match of the series, which eventually was called off after 30 overs.

The test took place ahead of the first match, and both teams took the field before the result came in. The result appeared during the game which showed that Pretorius is positive. Right after that, the umpires and match referee called off the game.

However, all the members of both teams tested again on Saturday and all returned negative.
