Quetta Gladiators’ Naseem Shah has been dropped out of the Pakistan Super League (PSL 6) after he breached the coronavirus protocols for departure from Pakistan by arriving at the designated hotel with a non-compliant RT-PCR test result.
The fast bowler will not be travelling to Abu Dhabi on May 26 and is now out of the competition, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a statement.
“As per the COVID-19 protocols for the remaining Pakistan Super League 6 matches, all those travelling through chartered flights from Karachi and Lahore were directed to assemble at the team hotels in Karachi and Lahore on 24 May with negative reports of PCR tests taken not more than 48 hours prior to arrival at the hotel,” the statement said.
Upon submission of the report, he was placed into isolation on a separate floor before being released following a decision made by a three-member panel on the recommendation of the independent Medical Advisory Panel for PSL.
