Amir tests negative for COVID-19, expected to depart for England this week

Fast-bowler Mohammad Amir and masseur Mohammad Imran have tested negative for the COVID-19.

As part of the process, both Amir and Imran underwent their first Covid-19 tests on Monday. The duo requires two negative tests to be eligible to travel to the United Kingdom.

The second test will be conducted on Wednesday, with their expected departures over the weekend.

On the request of the team management, the PCB decided to send Amir to England following the birth of his second daughter last week.

As per reports, the board has already started making their travel arrangements and has given the go-ahead to Amir to start packing for the tour.

As soon as Amir will join the squad, reserve wicketkeeper-batsman Rohail Nazir will be released from his duties.
