KARACHI: One of the staff members of the Pakistan team squad tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday, just hours before the second T20I match between Pakistan and England.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed the report. It said that the high-octane match between the two teams will be played as per the schedule.
Pakistan will play the second match against England at the National Stadium, Karachi today. England, with an upper hand, are leading the seven-match series 0-1.
The T20I will start at 7:30pm PST this evening.
The seven-match Twenty20 International series is a historic event for the hosts as the England team is touring Pakistan after 17 years.
The tourists defeated Pakistan in the first match by six wickets. Wicketkeeper-batsman Muhammad Rizwan called upon the cricket fans to condone the mistakes and the match loss as the team is trying new combinations.
