Minister Group Dhaka's Sri Lankan pacer Isuru Udana has tested positive for Covid-19, informed the franchise through a media release today. 

"As set out in the Covid-19 protocol for the Bangabandhu BPL T20 2022, Udana is isolating. He will remain under the supervision of the tournament medical team and further tests will be done in due course," read the press release adding that the left-armer had undergone the test on Thursday.
