Six Pakistan players to join England tour after negative virus test

Six players have been cleared to join Pakistan’s cricket tour to England after recording two successive negative Covid-19 tests, officials said on Tuesday. But the other four of 10 players who originally came up positive for coronavirus last week will have to stay behind 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 20-player party and 11 coaching staff who left on Sunday, said the Pakistan Cricket Board.
