LAHORE, Jun 22 (APP):The Pakistan Cricket Board here on Monday night confirmed three players – Haider Ali, Haris Rauf and Shadab Khan – have been tested positive for Covid-19.
The players had shown no symptoms until they were tested in Rawalpindi on Sunday ahead of the Pakistan men’s national cricket team’s tour to England.
The PCB medical panel is in contact with the three who have been advised to immediately go into self-isolation, said a spokesman of the PCB.

Their results are expected at some stage on Tuesday, which will also be announced by the PCB through its usual channels”, said the spokesman.
Until then, the PCB will not make any further comment.
