Sourav’s family members are also following the quarantine protocol. Snehasish, who is the Crcket Association of Bengal (CAB) secretary, complained of mild fever before deciding to go for the test.

Snehasish was staying at their ancestral house in Behala since the lockdown began in the city and also attended the former India captain's 48th birthday last week. Sourav was supposed to start shooting for his Bengali TV show this week, but it has now being postponed. “Other than having mild temperature, he is all right at the moment. Wish him a speedy recovery,” CAB president Avishek Dalmiya said about Snehasish.

Snehasish’s report caused a flutter as he was said to be present during a meeting with police officials regarding handing over Eden facilities for police personnel quarantine centre.
