The Pakistan Cricket Board on Monday released a statement saying that Shadab Khan, Haris Rauf, Haider Ali contracted the new coronavirus after being tested in Rawalpindi on Sunday.
The three cricketers were named in the 29-member squad last week for Pakistan’s upcoming tour to England but now their participation will be doubtful. The PCB is sending an extended squad of 29 players in case replacements are needed for anyone testing positive during the tour.
Pakistan are scheduled to play three Tests and as many Twenty20 Internationals against England in August-September in a bio-secure environment following the Covid-19 pandemic.
