Pat Cummins in isolation as IPL teammates test positive for COVID-19

Australia's vice-captain Pat Cummins and other members of Kolkata's cricket squad are isolating after two teammates contracted COVID-19, forcing Indian Premier League organisers to postpone a match.There is no suggestion the IPL tournament will be suspended despite the postponement of a game due to these positive tests

Kolkata's Varun Chakravarthy and Sandeep Warrier have tested positive for COVID, but their teammates — including Cummins — have returned negative tests so far. But the superstar paceman now faces daily tests and a nervous wait as the Board of Control for Cricket in India seeks to control the outbreak.

But if the situation deteriorates and that does transpire, then Cummins and others in a group of almost 40 Australian players, coaches and officials will be stuck in no man's land. Some optimistic Australian players remain hopeful that commercial flights will be allowed to resume by the end of the month, while others are bracing for contingency plans that involve a two-week stopover in another nation.

I do not feel the least bit sorry for CRICKET PLAYERS, while people in Australia have lost lively hoods due to COVID, this over paid group have chosen to put them selves in this situation for more $$$$$ that most Australian's will earn in a lifetime. Consequences guys!!!

Might be time to pause the comp, hey?
