The coronavirus test results of Hasan Ali results have left Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in a quandary. The fast bowler, who is selected in Pakistan’s squad for South Africa, initially returned positive on Wednesday last week.
He underwent two tests again and both reports returned negative. Despite it, the pacer is still not allowed to join the practice camp at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
According to PCB, Hasan Ali will have to undergo another coronavirus test before getting permission to join the team in the practice camp.
The changing test results of the right-handed fast bowler have created confusion and analysts believe it may create trouble for the visiting team in South Africa.
