Aussie all-rounder Glenn Maxwell tests positive for COVID-19
Xtra Time Web Desk : Australia cricketer Glenn Maxwell on Wednesday tested positive for COVID-19 as he became the 13th cricketer from his current Big Bash League franchise, Melbourne stars to test positive for the deadly virus.
Maxwell's positive test was confirmed on Wednesday morning through a rapid antigen test which he had taken following his side's Melbourne derby against Renegades on Monday, cricket.com.au reported. He also underwent a PCR test and is currently awaiting its result.
Apart from the Stars skipper Maxwell, cricketers like Marcus Stoinis, Adam Zampa and Nathan Coulter-Nile have all been tested positive for the virus and are currently amidst their seven day isolation period.
Meanwhile, the spurt in COVID-19 cases in the BBL continues with the Renegades becoming the fifth club to report a positive case. Three other BBL clubs have reported positive COVID-19 cases, forcing Brisbane Heat to withdraw from their match against the Sydney Sixers on Tuesday. The BBL organisers are desperately trying to keep the tournament going despite a surge in COVID-19 cases across the league.
