Under-19 World Cup 2022: BCCI to send 5 reserve players for a Covid-19 hit Indian camp

With India's under-19 camp rocked by Covid-19 in the middle of the Under-19 World Cup, the BCCI has decided to send five reserve players to the West Indies.

Udhay Saharan, Abhishek Porel, Rishith Reddy, Ansh Gosai and PM Singh Rathore are the 5 players to fly to the Caribbean immediately. The BCCI’s logistics team is working on their travel plans and the 5 players will undergo a six-day quarantine upon their arrival in Antigua. There is a strong possibility that India’s quarterfinals match will now be played on January 29 allowing players enough time to recover.

5 members of the Under-19 team tested positive on the morning of their 2nd group game vs Ireland and were hence put in isolation. The entire team was tested again on the same evening and thankfully there were no more fresh cases in the camp.
