A statement from PCB confirmed that:

“An individual” has been shifted to an isolation room in the team hotel after he tested positive for COVID-19.

While PCB desisted from revealing the individuality of the person who has been infected, sources confirmed the person belongs to the coaching staff of a participating team.

The cricket board, while authorizing the development, added that as per the PCB COVID-19 protocols, the entire squad to which the individual fitted, experienced COVID-19 tests and all returned with negative results.
