Meghana is believed to have cleared her Covid test on Wednesday and was put on the first available flight to join the squad in the UK.

Vastrakar could fly out on Sunday at the earliest, which will make her available for India's last league fixture against Barbados on Wednesday.

An official from the Indian Olympics Association (IOA) had confirmed Meghana and Vastrakar's positive tests a day after the India team had left for the Commonwealth Games on Monday.

This is the first time that women's cricket has been included in the Commonwealth Games, and the competition will be played in the T20 format. India are in Group A along with Australia, Pakistan and Barbados, while Group B comprises England, South Africa, New Zealand and Sri Lanka.

India open their campaign against Australia on Friday before taking on Pakistan on July 31, and then play their final group game against Barbados on August 3. All the matches in the Commonwealth games will be classified as T20 internationals.
