Shadab Khan, Haris Rauf and Haider Ali, seven more Pakistan cricket team players have tested positive for the novel coronavirus. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed that Fakhar Zaman, Imran Khan, Kashif Bhatti, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Rizwan and Wahab Riaz are the seven players who have tested positive for COVID-19.
The players were tested as per the mandatory safety protocol ahead of Pakistan's tour of England in August this year. The tour has been put in jeopardy with a total of ten positive tests from the Pakistan cricket team. Three players had tested positive in Rawalpindi on Monday and the results of the tests conducted on other players were awaited. Pakistan team's masseur Malang Ali has also tested positive for coronavirus.
10 players have now tested positive in the last two days which comes as a huge setback for PCB. However, Pakistan Cricket Board CEO Wasim Khan has stated that the Men in Green's tour of England will go ahead as per schedule as all first-choice Test team players barring Mohammad Rizwan have tested negative for COVID-19.
“The tour is very much on track, squad will depart as per schedule on 28th. Fortunately, all first-choice red-ball players, barring Rizwan, are negative, which means they can start training immediately after they are tested & given all clear when they arrive in UK,” said PCB CEO Wasim Khan.
Pakistan are scheduled to play a three-match Test series followed by as many T20Is in England in August. All the players who have tested positive have been asked to isolate at home and might join the rest of the squad later. The results of 5 players who were tested in Rawalpindi had come earlier on Monday but the results of others were awaited. Bowling coach Waqar Younis and veteran batsman Shoaib Malik are yet to be tested.
