Cameron Green down with Covid ahead of AUS vs WI Test

Green, who is set to play an important role for RCB in the upcoming IPL season, is reportedly down with Covid in Australia ahead of the ICC World Test Championship series match against West Indies.

This is the second Test of the series with Australia having won the first one comprehensively.

Travis Head was diagnosed with Covid at the end of the first Test in Adelaide. He landed in Brisbane two days after the rest of the team, only after he had tested negative.

But now on the eve of the second Test, Green has caught the virus although symptoms aren't prominent for the all-rounder.

According to reports, he did train and was the last one to bowl. He is set to play the Test but will likely use the Covid room at the Gabba to be in isolation.
