The young Indian fast bowler, Prasidh Krishna, who was included in the standby list of players for India’s tour of England, and veteran spinner Amit Mishra have attained complete recovery from COVID-19. Both bowlers had come in contact with the virus during the currently-suspended Indian Premier League (IPL) earlier this month. While Mishra tested positive on May 4, the day the league was indefinitely suspended, Krishna was tested positive for the virus on May 8.
As per the quotes in PTI, a source in BCCI said, “Prasidh Krishna has recovered from COVID-19.” Delhi Capitals (DC) leg-spinner Mishra took to Twitter to give an update on his recovery and express his gratitude towards the front-line health workers.

Krishna, who was seen plying his trade for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the indefinitely suspended edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021, was the fourth player from the franchise to get subjected to the virus after Varun Chakravarthy, Sandeep Warrier, and Tim Seifert. He had been in home isolation in Bengaluru.
The Indian squad is scheduled to assemble in Mumbai on Wednesday and, subsequently, undergo a hard quarantine before its departure to England in the first week of June.
