Sydney: Australian fast bowler Kane Richardson has been tested negative of the coronavirus and is all set to return on the field, Cricket Australia confirmed on Twitter.
“Kane Richardson’s test for COVID-19 has come back negative and he is on his way to the ground,” Cricket Australia tweeted. Richardson, who returned from South Africa with the ODI squad this week, was quarantined following complaints of a mild sore throat.
