T20 World Cup: Zampa tests positive for Covid ahead of game against Sri Lanka

Australia's leg-spinner Adam Zampa has tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of the T20 World Cup game against Sri Lanka.

According to details, Zampa recently returned a positive test but only displayed minor symptoms. His participation is in considerable doubt for Tuesday evening's match at Perth Stadium, but he remains available for selection.

If picked, Zampa would have to travel to the match separately and his contact with other Australian players and support staff would be limited.

However, as per ICC's playing conditions, players who test positive for the virus are not prevented from competing at this year's World Cup.

If Zampa misses out, Ashton Agar could replace him in the XI.

Defending champions Australia are looking to bounce back against Sri Lanka from their opening loss to New Zealand in a tough Group 1 which also includes England.

Ireland's George Dockrell played against Sri Lanka on Sunday in Hobart despite the team identifying him as "potentially positive".

Earlier, allrounder Tahlia McGrath played in the Commonwealth Games gold medal match for the women's side earlier this year in Birmingham.
