About 269 cricketers from 12 clubs had undergone corona test. The medical board has not yet revealed which club and the seven cricketers were affected by the virus.
These 7 cricketers and 2 officials will be tested for corona in the second phase and their samples will be sent to the lab by today.
"Yes, we tested 269 cricketers. Out of which 7 cricketers and 2 officials tested positive. But we will test them again and that could happen today. Only then will we be sure but so far they have come positive," the BCB's medical department told Cricfrenzy.
