A member of the BCCI contingent, which is in Dubai to oversee the conduct of IPL, has reportedly tested positive for COVID-19.
However, news are yet to be confirmed about whether it is from cricket operations teams or the medical team. Senior officials of IPL also assured that testing is on and everyone else is healthy and asymptomatic, that there is no cause for concern.
The money- spinner event is scheduled to start on September 19.
The development comes after 13 members of the Chennai Super Kings contingent, including two players, tested positive for the dreaded virus last week. They are currently undergoing the mandatory 14- day quarantine.
Rest of the teams have started training after their squad members and support staff completed the on-arrival quarantine and returned negative tests.
The IPL was moved out of India this year due to a surge in Covid-19 cases in Dubai.
The tournament will be played across three cities in the UAE — Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. It will conclude on November 10.
