The Pakistan Cricket Board have announced that ten team players have tested positive for coronavirus during a a round of tests ahead of the squad assembling for their tour of England.

It is reportedly said that initially three players – Haider Ali, Haris Rauf and Shadab Khan – were revealed to have tested positive, before a further seven names – Fakhar Zaman, Imran Khan, Kashif Bhatti, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Rizwan and Wahab Riaz – were added to the list a day later.

In addition, one member of support staff, the team masseur Malang Ali, has also tested positive.

“In the meantime, Misbah-ul-Haq is reviewing the training schedule in England and is firming up plans for reserve players to be tested as a backup.”

According to the PCB, players who have tested negative will undergo a second round of testing on Thursday 25 June, having assembled together in a bio-secure environment in Lahore. Those who test negative a second time will then depart for England, where they will be tested once more within 24 hours of arrival.

They will then enter a two-week quarantine, as per UK government regulations, during which they will be able to train in a bio-secure environment.

Players who test positive, or have already tested positive, throughout this process will be able to rejoin the squad after they have finished their minimum quarantine period and subsequently returned two negative tests.
