He, however, did not disclose the names of the players. Both of them have been isolated under the supervision of the physicians.
“They were tested a few times after arriving in Dhaka,” Jalal told UNB. “Every time they returned negative before the latest test. Those who tested positive are isolated, they, along with the other members of the team, gave samples for another test on Monday.
