KARACHI: Pakistan’s fast bowling all-rounder Faheem Ashraf has been ruled out of the Karachi Test of the Benaud-Qadir Trophy, following his contraction to the widely spread virus.
Faheem, who missed the first Test of the ongoing historic series between Pakistan and Australia due to an injury has now been ruled out of the second Test as the fast-bowling all-rounder has tested positive for COVID-19 on his on-arrival test at the team hotel.
The all-rounder is now due to undergo a mandatory isolation period of five days and will miss the Karachi Test.
According to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Faheem’s replacement will be announced in due case if needed.
It is pertinent to mention here that the first Test of the Benaud-Qadir Trophy in Rawalpindi, ended as a draw, while the Karachi Test will be played from March 12 to March at National Stadium.
