Four Mumbai players in Mushtaq Ali Trophy team test positive for COVID-19

Four players of Mumbai's Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy squad have tested positive for COVID-9 and their replacements have been picked.

Four players from the senior team - Shams Mulani, Sairaj Patil, Prashant Solanki and Sarfaraz Khan - have tested positive, a well-placed source told PTI on condition of anonymity. The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) will soon name the replacements for the four infected players.

"We are conducting Rapid RT-PCR (of the players named as replacements) and their reports will come soon and accordingly they will join the team. We are also conducting the RT-PCR test of the other squad members," the source said.

Mumbai, who are placed in Elite Group B, will play their league matches of the domestic T20 tournament in Guwahati beginning November 4. They start their campaign against Karnataka.
