Former Australia legendary leg-spinner Shane Warne has tested COVID-19 positive and is currently in self-isolation. Warne, who is the head coach of ‘The Hundred’ team London Spirits, and another unnamed member of the management team have gone into self-isolation. The spin legend is the head coach of the men’s team for the Lord’s-based franchise but he was forced to sit out Sunday’s match after feeling unwell.

A club statement read: “London Spirit men’s head coach Shane Warne will be absent from today’s match against Southern Brave at Lord’s. After feeling unwell this morning, Shane returned a positive lateral flow test and will isolate from the squad and support staff whilst he awaits PCR results. A second member of the team management is self-isolating after also returning a positive test. No players have been impacted.” the statement added.

Let us tell you that a lateral flow test returned positive and he is now expecting the result of a PCR test. None of the Spirit playing squad has been affected as of now. The 51-year-old former Australia leg-spinner, who took 708 wickets from 145 Tests between 1992 and 2007, is the second head coach in the men's competition to test positive for COVID-19 in the first 10 days of the Hundred.
