All 20 players and 11 management personnel in the Pakistan touring party have tested negative for coronavirus since arriving in Britain, the England and Wales Cricket Board said Tuesday.
The ECB’s announcement followed a statement from Pakistan that six more players had been cleared to join the tour after recording two successive negative Covid-19 tests.
But the other four of the 10 players who originally tested positive for the virus last week will have to stay in Pakistan for now after failing further tests.
Mohammad Hafeez, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Hasnain, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman are now eligible to travel to England and join the original squad that left on Sunday, the Pakistan Cricket Board said.
“All the six players were re-tested on Monday, following their first negative test on June 26,” the PCB confirmed.
