Pakistan, Zimbabwe squads get all clear after Covid-19 tests

All 107 Covid19 tests conducted on Zimbabwe and Pakistan players, support staff and match officials have returned negative ahead of the limitedovers series starting later this week, the Pakistan Cricket Board said

Tuesday.

The tests were conducted Monday as part of the board’s Covid19 protocols for the bilateral series.

All players, officials and staff have moved into a hub in a fivestar hotel in Islamabad, the PCB said, and “are now allowed to interact with each other and move freely within the biosecure bubble.” Both teams will start training Tuesday at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, which will host the three ODIs and three T20 internationals.

The series begins with a onedayer on Friday. Lahore was originally scheduled to host the T20 series but those matches were shifted because of expected smog next month.
