Pakistan’s cricket tour of England appears to be in jeopardy after 10 players tested positive for COVID-19.

A 28-man squad to cover three Tests in August and the Twenty20 series that follows is due to depart from Lahore on Sunday and all players and members of the support staff were tested regionally over the weekend.

Following yesterday's confirmation that three players had coronavirus, a further seven and one member of the support staff have all tested positive as well.

The results from Rawalpindi, where five individuals were tested, came in early and showed that Haider Ali, Haris Rauf and Shadab Khan have the virus but are asymptomatic.

Fakhar Zaman, Imran Khan, Kashif Bhatti, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Rizwan and Wahab Riaz have all now tested positive as well.

The status of the tour appears in the balance, although the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) remains bullish and said fresh testing of those who do not have the virus will be done on Thursday (June 25) in Lahore, with all players who test negative then set to travel to England.
