As per BCCI officials, Varun Chakravarti and Sandeep Warrior have been tested positive for Covid. All the other players tested negative.

As per Cricinfo, the match is set to be rescheduled. Boria Majumdar posted the reason on twitter:

From what I know there was no breach of bubble but the player had to go to hospital to get some medical checks done and may have picked up the infection there. Other tests, not covid tests. More awaited.
