Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf has tested positive for the novel coronavirus again. According to recent reports, the 26-year-old pacer got the result from a latest PCB test conducted in Lahore. Just a day prior to his positive result, Haris Rauf oddly tested negative but has now been sent back to Islamabad from Lahore through a special vehicle.
Haris Rauf will now be serving a 10-day self-isolation period at home. The medical counsel of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will stay in immediate contact with the pacer. According to further reports, Haris Rauf will undergo another test after he completes his ongoing self-isolation phase. The cricketer was set to be selected in Pakistan's touring party for England for the upcoming England vs Pakistan 2020 Test series.
However, Haris Rauf tested positive thrice in a row in June that prompted the PCB to exclude him from the initial touring set of Pakistan players, who are currently in England. Pakistan is scheduled to play three Tests and as many T20s against England during the tour.All the matches of the tour will be played in a bio-secure environment amid the pandemic. The first Test of the series will be played at Old Trafford, Manchester from August 5.
