A member of the South Africa-bound Pakistan men’s cricket team, pacer Hasan Ali, who had last week tested positive, has now returned two negative tests. As such, he will enter the bio-secure bubble on March 23 where he will remain in isolation for 24 hours, following which he will undergo two further tests on March 24.

If the results of both the tests are negative, then he will be allowed to integrate with the side and cleared to travel to Johannesburg on March 26.

Meanwhile, all the remaining 34 members of the side, presently attending a training camp in Lahore, cleared their third Covid-19 tests conducted on March 21.
