Sana Mir tests positive for Covid-19

Former Pakistan woman cricketer Sana Mir has tested positive for Covid-19, according to reports in local media.

Mir was part of the commentary and analysis panel of the ongoing Quaid-e-Azam Trophy final at the National Stadium in Karachi.

She played 226 internationals, including 137 as captain from 2009 to 2017, during her glittering 15-year cricketing career.

Mir led Pakistan women’s team to gold medal wins at the Asia Games in 2010 and 2014. In 2029, she also became the world’s top-ranked bowler for one-day internationals (ODIs); and, the top wicket-taker for spinners ever among women in ODIs.

She has been decorated with the Pakistani medal of excellence known as the Tamgha-e-Imtiaz, similar to the U.S. Congressional Medal of Honor, while also winning the People's Choice Award at the Pakistan Sports Awards.

She was inducted into the ICC Women's Committee, in 2019, as one of three female players' representatives to the preeminent cricket body.
