Pakistan have acquired an enormous blow forward of their 2nd Test towards Australia in Karachi as all-rounder Faheem Ashraf has been dominated out because of a optimistic Covid-19 check. However, Hasan Ali, who missed the primary Test, was again with the hosts coaching in Karachi for the Test, which can get underway on March 12.

Both Faheem and Hasan had missed the primary Test because of damage issues. The sequence opener in Rawalpindi resulted in a boring draw with solely 14 wickets falling over the course of 5 days on a dull pitch.
“Faheem tested positive on Wednesday and has been put on a five-day isolation as per protocols,” a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) spokesperson stated.
“Currently he is not available for the second test but that could change depending on the re-test which will be conducted later today.”
Faheem has taken 22 wickets and scored 600 runs in 13 assessments he has performed for Pakistan.
Pakistan performed Naseem Shah, Shaheen Afridi as their frontline pacers within the first Test. Hasan is prone to substitute Shah for the 2nd Test.
