‘Potentially Covid positive’ Dockrell features in Ireland XI

George Dockrell has been identified as potentially positive for COVID, according to Cricket Ireland. The 30-year-old has been selected in the Playing XI against Sri Lanka.

Cricket Ireland’s official release read: A positive COVID test does not impede Dockrell’s ability to play or train, but to keep the rest of the squad as safe as possible, he will travel separately to the squad on match and training days.

Dockrell’s symptoms are mild and the ICC and the development has been brought to the notice of the stadium staff in Hobart. His movements and interactions will be managed in order to protect the rest of Ireland’s traveling party in Australia.
