The Pakistan Super League will continue unaffected despite two players and a member of support staff testing positive for Covid-19.
Fawad Ahmed was revealed to have contracted coronavirus on Monday (March 1) leading to the postponement by 24 hours of Islamabad United's clash with Quetta Gladiators.
All players from the two sides subsequently returned negative results but the decision was taken to give both sets of players extra time to prepare for the match.
Another two hundred and forty-four PCR tests have since been carried out on the players and support staff of the four remaining teams.

PSL TOURNAMENT INFORMATION
From that assessment, two overseas stars and one member of local support staff, who has been confirmed as Karachi Kings' fielding coach Karmran Khan, have tested positive. All three are self-isolating on separate floors of the bio-secure hotel.
Local media had reported the tournament could be delayed by seven days amid the minor outbreak, but organisers have confirmed the tournament will continue, starting with the rescheduled match on Tuesday (March 2) in Karachi.
The National Stadium has been at 50 per cent capacity, up from 20 per cent earlier in the competition. The tournament moves to Lahore from March 7 and organisers have ambitions of stadia being full for the playoffs later this month.
