Islamabad: Seven more Pakistan cricketers have tested positive for coronavirus ahead of their tour of England. Three cricketers had tested positive for the virus on Monday.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said cricketers Fakhar Zaman, Imran Khan, Kashif Bhatti, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Rizwan and Wahab Riaz tested positive on Tuesday.
It has come as a bad news for the team, which is scheduled to travel to England on June 28 for a full tour. On Monday, Haider Ali, Haris Rauf and Shadab Khan had tested positive.
Shoaib Malik, Cliffe Deacon and Waqar Younis are still to undergo corona test.
The PCB said none of the seven players had reported prior symptoms of COVID-19 until they underwent first round of testing on Monday ahead of the team’s departure for England.
“The PCB medical panel is in contact with these players and has instructed them to be under home quarantine,” the Pakistan board said.
On June 13, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi had also tested positive for coronavirus. Days after testing positive for the virus, Afridi said he was feeling better after 2-3 days of struggle.
