Indian women’s T20 captain Harmanpreet Kaur has recovered from COVID-19. The right-hander batter made the announcement in a tweet.
“Happy to inform you all that I have tested -ve & I’m feeling better. My only message to y’all is to take care & be extra careful,” Harmanpreet tweeted.
“The virus is real & it’s dangerous. Follow all the protocols set up by the authorities. Wishing strength to the ones who are in the middle of the fight,” she added.
Kaur had earlier tested positive for the virus and was experiencing some symptoms. She got herself tested after having mild fever. A source close to the cricketer told PTI that she is got tested herself and the result of the tests came out to be positive then.
“She is self-isolating at home. She got tested yesterday and the report came positive today morning. She had mild fever since four days so thought it was best to get tested. She is doing fine otherwise and should recover soon,” a source close to the player told PTI.
“She was getting tested regularly during the South Africa series so she must have caught the virus after that only,” the source added.
She had missed the T20I series against South Africa at home and has played 114 matches in the shorter format scoring 2186 runs. She has also been an important part of the ODI setup and has represented India in 104 matches where she has notched up 2532 runs.
