Three Pakistani cricketers Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali and Faheem Ashraf have rejoined the Test squad after recovering and completing the mandatory isolation period, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said Saturday.
The PCB said that pacer Haris Rauf has rejoined the team after testing negative for COVID-19. Rauf had tested positive with the virus on Tues-day after a Rapid Antigen Test and Naseem Shah, who was originally a travelling reserve, had replaced him in the squad for the series opener played in Rawalpindi.
Additionally, all-rounder Faheem Ashraf and frontline pacer Hasan Ali have returned to the squad after recovering from injuries. They sustained injuries during the Pakistan Super League tournament and could not play a few games. —AP
