Australia batsman Marnus Labuschagne has been forced to pull out of Glamorgan’s T20 Blast match against Middlesex after his compatriot Nick Selman tested positive for COVID-19.
The club also identified Labuschagne and Michael Neser as potential close contacts and are taking the precautionary measure of removing them from the match day squad and quarantining them.
“All other team members, coaches and staff returned negative results…”
Labuschagne is Glamorgan’s top scorer but Neser is yet to play a game in the competition with the club opting for Colin Ingram for its second overseas spot so far.
With a hectic schedule, the Australian duo could miss more T20 games, something that would hamper Labuschagne’s bid for a spot in the T20 World Cup later this year.
Duo shared a video of spending time playing cricket in quarantine.
