    Veteran Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh on Friday tested positive for coronavirus. The latest development was confirmed by Harbhajan from his official Twitter handle. Confirming the news, he also requested those who came in close proximity with him to self-isolate themselves. Harbhajan, who is counted among the best off-spinners to represent India on the international stage, announced retirement from all forms of cricket last month.

    Why does it matter?

    • In the last couple of weeks, several cricketers have tested positive for the coronavirus as the COVID-19 has continued to wreak havoc all over the world.
    • India's Under-19 team, which is currently in West Indies for the World Cup, was hampered by the same after four players in the squad contracted the virus.
    • The Ashes 2021-22 was also marred with several positive cases.

    Harbhajan confirmed the news on Twitter

    "I've tested positive for COVID with mild symptoms," he wrote on Twitter. He is currently in quarantine at home and "taking all the necessary precautions" to fight it. "I would request those who came in contact with me to get themselves tested at the earliest," he added. He concluded his tweet by urging his followers to "be safe" amid the third wave of coronavirus.

    Harbhajan retired from cricket last month

    All good things come to an end and today as I bid adieu to the game that has given me everything in life, I would like to thank everyone who made this 23-year-long journey beautiful and memorable.
    My heartfelt thank you 🙏 Grateful .https://t.co/iD6WHU46MU
