Today’s match between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators has been postponed after a player from the Shadab Khan-led side tested positive for Covid-19.

The match will now take place tomorrow at 7:00 pm (PST), according to PCB.

Later, in a tweet by Islamabad United’s official Twitter account, it was revealed that player who tested positive was Australian leg-spinner Fawad Ahmed.

Fawad was put in isolation late Saturday night. He will re-enter the bio-secure bubble after two negative tests.

The decision to reschedule the match has been made after a careful consideration, aimed at allowing players sufficient time to relax, refocus and regroup following the testing and in the best interest of the competition.

While all squad members of Quetta Gladiators and Islamabad United have tested negative, players and player support personnel of the four remaining sides and the match officials will undergo rapid tests on Monday evening.

The tickets for Monday’s match will be valid on Tuesday, while the unused tickets can be refunded.
