The two scheduled games of the ongoing Dialog – SLC Invitational T20 League, which was set to be played today (20 August) at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium have been shifted to 21 August, a Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) media release states.
The rescheduling was done following the identification of some of the employees of the hotel, where the players and the support staff taking part in the ongoing league were accommodated, as COVID positive.
The employees of the hotel, who identified as COVID positive during a routine PCR test carried out on 17 August, were not in direct contact with the players and the support staff.
Following the identification, the players and the support staff were shifted to two different hotels as a precautionary measure.
The players and the support staff underwent a PCR test yesterday and will undergo further testing during the period of the tournament, as per the COVID-19 prevention guidelines.
