Vince likely to miss PSL playoffs after testing positive for Covid-19

England top-order batsman James Vince is likely to miss the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) playoffs, after testing positive for Covid-19.

According to ESPNcricinfo, Vince, who played for Multan Sultans in PSL 5, is asymptomatic and will undergo a second test soon.

This is another blow for Sultans, who were the table-toppers at the end of the round-robin stage of the tournament, after Bangladesh all-rounder Mahmudullah’s exclusion from the event due to the same reason on Sunday.
