Did BCCI medical officer in SL delay in Krunal Pandya's COVID testing despite player red-flagging symptoms?
India TV NewsThe 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 done right away nor was the player immediately isolated. In fact, despite throat pain, the team doctor allowed the player to attend the team meeting and only on July 27 morning was his RT-PCR Test done. But I can confirm, Krunal despite throat pain attended team meeting," "In fact, another question that's being raised is how come BCCI's medical team in Sri Lanka agreed to testing every fifth day whereas in IPL, testing is done every third day," the source added.
