Star Australia spinner Adam Zampa on Tuesday missed his team’s must-win T20 World Cup match against Sri Lanka after testing positive for COVID-19.


According to a report in ‘Dailytelegraph’, Zampa’s “symptoms are not necessarily severe” but the defending champions decided to leave him out as a precautionary measure.


“Zampa is all right. We have four games in four different states in quick time. So just a precautionary thing,” pacer Mitchell Starc said ahead of the match. 


The International Cricket Council (ICC) rules don’t bar a player from taking part in a match if he or she is COVID-positive.

Recently, Ireland’s George Dockrell had played against Sri Lanka despite being COVID-19 positive.
