Lahore: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had recently revealed that nine of their players in the 29-member squad and one support staff member, for England tour tested positive for the deadly Covid-19. Legendary former Pakistani skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq slammed the PCB and its medical staff for their attitude towards looking after the players' health.
"The players who have tested positive would have thought that PCB is not supporting them at this difficult time," said Inzamam on his YouTube channel. "My sources have told me that the PCB's medical staff did not attend calls of these players during the past couple of days, which is a really bad attitude."
"I would request the PCB to properly look after these players because if you don't then incidents, like Hafeez getting himself tested privately, will happen," he added.
Inzamam-ul-Haq also suggested that instead of asking players to self-isolate themselves ar their homes, PCB should ask Covid-19 positive players to do so at Lahore's National Cricket Academy.
"PCB should have kept these players [who tested positive] at the NCA, because there is enough space there, rather than telling them to self-isolate at their homes. They are our players and we need to look after them so that they can fully recover," he said.
