Pakistan have been compelled to ring more changes to their squad for the opening Test against Australia in Rawalpindi after fast bowler Haris Rauf was ruled out due to COVID-19. As a result, Naseem Shah, who was originally a travelling reserve, has been added to the squad. Rauf will now serve isolation for five days and will link up the squad once his quarantine is over. The PCB also confirmed that the rest of the squad and support staff were retested following Rauf’s positive result and everyone returned a negative test.
