LAHORE: England’s James Vince has been ruled out of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020 playoffs after he tested positive for COVID-19, according to a statement.
James Vince, who was to play for the Multan Sultans, is the second cricketer of the Sultans to be ruled out of the PSL 2020 after contracting the virus. The 29-year-old found out about his diagnosis before his flight to Pakistan.
According to an international sports website, Vince is currently asymptomatic and will undergo a second COVID-19 test. However, the English cricketer is legally obliged to self-isolate for 10 days from the date of the positive test.
The sports outlet further stated that Multan Sultans are now looking at Joe Denly as a possible replacement for Vince. The latter has also signed up for Sydney Sixers in the upcoming Big Bash League (BBL).
It is worth mentioning here that Bangladesh’s Mahmudullah suffered a similar fate and could not join the Sultans after returning two positive Covid-19 results.
