Kiran More recovers from COVID-19, fit to join MI's bio bubble

Former India wicket-keeper and Mumbai Indians' talent scout Kiran More has recovered from COVID-19 and is fit to join the team's bio-bubble, the IPL defending champions said.

58-year-old More, who is also the wicket-keeping consultant for the five-time IPL champions MI, had tested positive for the dreaded virus on April 6. "Kiran More has recovered from COVID-19 and has completed medically supervised isolation. More has tested negative in three RT-PCR tests. #Mumbai Indians #MI #OneFamily," Mumbai Indians tweeted.

"Our medical team in consultation with BCCI have determined Kiran More fit to rejoin the MI bio-bubble in adherence with BCCI guidelines," the franchise said in another tweet. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing IPL is being played behind closed doors and teams are in bio-bubble. Mumbai Indians are based in Chennai, where they have so far played four games.
