Pakistan coach Misbah-ul-Haq has tested positive for Covid-19 and will be quarantined for 10 days in Jamaica, his country’s cricket board announced on Wednesday.
“Misbah has tested positive and as such, will not be leaving for Lahore with his side later today. Misbah, who is asymptomatic, will now undergo a 10-day quarantine, after which he will leave for Pakistan,” a statement said.
The announcement came less than 24 hours after Pakistan beat West Indies by 109 runs in Kingston to win the second Test and level the two-match series 1-1.
The 47-year-old Misbah took over as the head coach of the national team in September 2019, having also been the captain during his playing days.
He played 75 Tests and 162 ODIs, scoring over 5,000 runs in each format.
“Misbah was the only member of Pakistan’s squad who failed two pre-departure PCR tests. All other members will leave Jamaica as per schedule today (Wednesday).”
