Australian wicketkeeper batter Matthew Wade tests positive for Covid-19

Australian wicketkeeper batter Matthew Wade has tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of the crunch clash against England on Friday (October 28). Wade is the second Australian star to contract the ungodly virus after Adam Zampa tested positive before the Sri Lanka clash. While Wade is not entirely ruled out of the clash against England, it remains to be seen whether he makes the Playing XI or not on



Friday.

Wade is believed to be suffering only minor symptoms and, unless his condition deteriorates, is still expected to feature in Friday's high-stakes match against England at the MCG

An Australian team spokesperson confirmed the 34-year-old, the only wicketkeeper in the 15-man squad after Josh Inglis suffered a hand injury last week and was replaced by Cameron Green, returned a positive test on Wednesday evening.
