Australia’s cricket captain Pat Cummins has been named as a close contact of a positive Covid-19 case, casting doubt over whether he’ll play in the second Ashes Test.
While the 28-year-old was enjoying dinner with another Adelaide cricketer on Wednesday night, a Covid customer at the next table confirmed that it was positive.
Cummins, however, left the restaurant quickly. It’s not known if Cummins will be participating in Thursday’s South Australian match.
The Age reports that sources claim it is unlikely that the fast-bower will take to the field.
