T20 World Cup: Matthew Wade positive for COVID-19, expected to play against England

Firstpost  

Australia wicketkeeper Matthew Wade has tested positive for COVID-19 at the T20 World Cup but is expected to play in Friday’s crucial clash with England, the team said. T20 World Cup: Full coverage | Schedule | Results | Points Table | News | Photos Asked if Wade was expected to play for the holders and hosts against England at Melbourne Cricket Ground, the spokesman replied: “Yes.” Australia do not have a specialist back-up wicketkeeper in their squad, but all-rounder Glenn Maxwell practised with the gloves on at a training session in Melbourne on Thursday and could fill in if needed. World Cup rules permit players to play matches with COVID-19 but they must travel separately in order to avoid the spread of the virus. Spinner Adam Zampa tested positive ahead of the Sri Lanka match on Tuesday but has recovered and is expected to be fit to face England in a match neither can afford to lose.
