Karun Nair defeats Covid-19, all set to board UAE Flight

Karun Nair, who plays for Indian Cricket Team and Kings Xl Punjab ha tested positive for the dreaded virus last month. He went into self-isolation for more than two weeks.

The 28-year-old cricketer is happy to recover on time and will be travelling with his team to the UAE for the Indian Premier League starting on 19 September.

The franchise did not comment on the report but a BCCI source told PTI that Karun Nair returned a negative test on August 8 at the end of his quarantine. He will now have to clear three more tests like the rest of the contingent to be able to fly out to the UAE on August 20.

“He is absolutely fine now. He was asymptomatic throughout and was feeling okay. His test came negative after two weeks and he has even resumed personal training. Now, he will be tested like all other squad members before the team leaves for UAE,” the source said.

Karun Nair is the main prominent Indian cricketer to have had Covid-19. The 28-year-old will be playing alongside Karnataka teammates Mayank Agarwal and  KL Rahul, who will lead the side for the first time.

Dishant Yagnik the Rajasthan Royals fielding coach was the first person who was infected by the virus before Karun Nair.

The pandemic has seriously influenced India, which has had in excess of 2 million cases up until this point, the third-most noteworthy all out all around behind the USA and Brazil.

The pandemic has driven the BCCI to move the 2020 IPL season to the UAE. The IPL has spread out thorough, compulsory testing forms including various tests and seven days in length isolate period after arriving at the UAE before groups can begin to prepare.

Additionally, according to the neighbourhood government standards, any individual entering the UAE would need to convey a negative test outcome taken in the past 96 hours.

Also, Chennai Super Kings have decided to arrange an optional training in Chepauk for the players which will focus on fitness of the players with some throwdowns net sessions. Players like MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Harbhajan Singh will attend the camp while Jadeja has opted out of the camp due to personal reasons.
