‘Hussey tested positive. But his samples are being redone,’ a team source told The Times of India.

‘Hopefully, the report will come negative.’

Batsman Steve Smith and other Australian cricketers including Hussey are isolating in India after the IPL was suspended amid a widening coronavirus outbreak in the country.
