“It was rather strange that Natarajan was tested positively on the 11th day of his arrival from India.
He has tested three times negative according to the protocol for the first five days.
During quarantine six days, there is always a risk of one case like that, “he said in anonymous.” It effectively means the Covid IPL protocol policy is still questionable.
I don’t think the IPL operating team should allow SRH to arrive late.
If you arrive late, then it should be a hard quarantine of 14 days, “he added.
The development was a big blow to SRH, who could not use his services in the first leg because of an injury.
30 years -dold Natarajan had 20 IPL goalkeeper from the 24 matches he had him Play.
The luxury league returned here on Sunday after it had to be stopped in May because some Covid cases in his bio bubble when the event was being performed in India.
Even at that time, SRH was affected when the Senior Wicketkeeper-Batsman Wriddhiman Saha was tested positive.
Suspended as once the report came out, adding three detected cases before.
A source of league told PTI that the committee no longer used a cellular application to track close contact, which was the norm during the last edition in the UAE, and rely on the input of people who suffer from monitoring the spread.
“We don’t know but contact contact applications are a very good way.
To track bubble violations, if any.
I think this is a cost cut size by BCCI, “said the source.
