LONDON: After the unexpected delay of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) by Pakistan Cricket Board in Lahore on Tuesday in the midst of reports of an abroad cricketer conveying indications of the coronavirus, England batsman Alex Hales, who spoke to Karachi Kings, approached to affirm that he carried a couple of side effects and had gone into self-confinement subsequent to arriving in his homeland.
In any case, Alex Hales explained that he is yet to be tested for coronavirus and just that will affirm his status.
“In the light of the speculation and rumour that is currently circulating within the cricket world and on social media, I felt I needed to give a full explanation of my situation,” he said.
“Like many other overseas players, I reluctantly left the Pakistan Super League early because, with COVID-19 reaching global pandemic status, I felt it was more important to be with my family rather than face a period of lockdown thousands of miles from home.
“I returned to the UK in the early hours of Saturday morning feeling perfectly fit and healthy and with absolutely no symptoms of the virus.
“However, I awoke early on Sunday morning having developed a fever and followed the government’s advice of self-isolation, a process I am obviously still following having developed a dry and persistent cough.”
