Novel Coronavirus: PCB informs all COVID-19 cases from PSL are negative

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Thursday informed that the results of all the 128 COVID-19 tests on the players, support staff, match officials, broadcasters and team owners of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) have come negative.

According to a statement on the official website of the PCB, the tests were conducted following a suspected case of the novel coronavirus.



Interestingly, commentator and former Test cricketer Ramiz Raja claimed that England cricketer Alex Hales had shown symptoms of the virus while turning out for the Karachi Kings in the PSL.

However, Hales, who was among the nine foreigners who left Pakistan before the virus had taken a fatal turn there, dismissed Raja’s claim but accepted that he developed symptoms after returning to England.
