New Zealand (NZ) batsman Tim Seifert was forced to stay in India after testing positive for the coronavirus as his fellow Kiwi cricketers fled the Covid-19 crisis in India for the Maldives, officials said Saturday.
Seifert, who was playing for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League (IPL), failed his pre-departure tests and has been placed in quarantine.
Test players involved in the IPL – Kane Williamson, Mitchell Santner and Kyle Jamieson – had planned to stay in New Delhi before travelling to England for their upcoming Test series but have now decided to move to the Maldives.
