On Monday, Imad Wasim and Usman Shinwari tested negative, while Haider Ali, Haris Rauf and Shadab Khan's results were positive.
Like Haider, Haris and Shadab, none of the seven players and massage therapists had previously reported symptoms of Covid-19 until they underwent the first round of testing on Monday before the team left for the tour.
The recent positive tests of some of the top athletes who had not shown any symptoms clearly reflect the danger of this virus. As such, and on behalf of the circuit court, I once again urge the public to strictly adhere to all safety measures recommended and recommended by federal and state governments to ensure their health and safety, as well as their loved ones.
PCB Chief Message on overall situation.
“The players who have tested positive will continue to monitor and support them, including conducting antibody tests. If tested negative, they are flown in to join the squad in England. At this point, they were asked to isolate themselves so that they not only recover quickly but also prevent their other family members from becoming infected
Wasim Khan.
Many players has presented the best wishes and prayers for the all COVID-19 infected players including Shahid Afridi, Shaheen Afridi,Ahmed Shahzad.
Prayers for quick recovery of Fakhar, Imran Khan, Kashif, Hafeez, Hasnain, Rizwan and Wahab and Malang. Please take good care. Appeal to all Pakistanis, please take the virus seriously!
