Fortunately, none of the English tour members have been in contact with the two said staffers, and therefore neither the England tour, nor the ongoing first Test at the Galle International Stadium, will be affected due to the unforeseen happening, reports said on Friday. Two kitchen workers of the hotel had tested positive, according to reports quoting Galle District health authorities.   We remain vigilant: England But it is likely that England’s preparation for the second and last Test, to be started at the same venue on Friday (22), may change due to the incident. “We are concerned. Our protocols have been excellent and we continue to be vigilant,” a spokesperson from the England tour contingent in Sri Lanka was quoted by The Cricketer as saying on Friday. “We remain vigilant and respectful of the Sri Lankan authorities, and we will do everything that is possible to keep our players and the general population safe,” he had added. England left midway during a series in South Africa in December, after two staffers at the hotel hosting the team tested positive.   Karunaratne to miss second Test too Injured Sri Lankan skipper Dimuth Karunaratne, who was left out in the eleventh hour from the first Test in Galle, will miss the second Test too. Sri Lanka team sources in Galle said on Friday that the opening batsman had fractured his thumb and needed further rest. Karunaratne suffered an injury on his left thumb in South Africa during their previous series, and has reportedly aggravated the injury during practice for the first Test in Galle. Dinesh Chandimal captains Sri Lanka in place of Karunaratne.
