All these players have tested positive ahead of the Pakistan team's departure for the England tour.
Comments from Wasim Khan on the situation:
"We fully expect the players to be tested again, the players are coming to Lahore tomorrow, the players who were negatively tested before will be tested again in a bio-secure environment in a hotel on 25th, the squad will be announced on the 27th, and the team will leave for England on the 28th"
"Currently Misbah is looking at the plan for reserves - we have 4 players in the reserves and we are looking at whether we need to draw on those reserves to go to England, on top of that we are looking at 3-4 of other reserves who Misbah is identifying at the moment, they will also be tested and on alert if required in England"
"It sounds like a lot of players (who are Covid+) but we planned for this potential scenario; We started planning for this about a month ago about what if this or that happens"
"If these players are tested positive again in 10-12 days time, then further reserves that Misbah is identifying today will come in an join the squad depending on which discipline those players are who cannot make it"
