New Zealand opener Devon Conway tests positive for Covid-19

Nottingham: New Zealand batter Devon Conway has tested positive for Covid-19 and has begun five days of isolation, country's cricket board said on Thursday.

Conway undertook a PCR test on arrival in London on Wednesday evening in preparation for a team activity.

The rest of the touring party have returned negative results.

The left-hand batter joined all-rounder Michael Bracewell and support staff personnel -- Vijay Vallabh (physio) and Chris Donaldson (strength & conditioning) -- as members of the tour party to have tested positive.

"The three will travel separately from the team to Leeds on Sunday and providing they recover as expected will be able to join the team for training at Headingley on Tuesday, ahead of Thursday’s final Test," New Zealand Cricket said in a statement.
