Monday night’s Pakistan Super League (PSL) match between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators has been delayed after legspinner Fawad Ahmed returned a positive test for Covid-19. Ahmed had showed symptoms two days ago and had been immediately isolated, his franchise Islamabad United said. Other members of Islamabad United have returned negative tests while the Quetta Gladiators players are being tested. The start of the game, which was scheduled for 7.30pm local time, has been pushed back to 9pm.
A spokesperson of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) told ESPNcricinfo that members of every franchise are currently being tested for Covid-19 as well.
Ahmed had made his first appearance of this edition of the PSL on Saturday, February 27, during United’s loss against Peshawar Zalmi. United’s statement on his isolation suggests that would be the evening during which Ahmed went into isolation.
