ISLAMABAD - The Pakistan Cricket Board has apparently compromised on its COVID-19 protocols and allowed fast bowler Naseem Shah to re-enter the bio-secure bubble before returning to play in the country s premier Twenty20 league.
The 18-year-old Shah was expelled last Monday from the remainder of Pakistan Super League after arriving at a team hotel in Lahore with an outdated negative test for COVID-19. The last 20 games of the postponed tournament are being played in the United Arab Emirates.
The PCB’s protocols required all players traveling to Abu Dhabi to present a negative test taken not more than 48 hours prior to arrival at the team hotel. Shah presented a report on Monday from a test that was conducted on May 18.

Mohammad Amir has urged 18-year-old Pakistani pacer Naseem Shah to stay strong after the latter was expelled from the 2021 edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
The Pakistan Cricket Board ruled Naseem out of PSL 2021 after he failed to adhere to the tournament s COVID-19 protocols. The heartbroken Quetta Gladiators pacer expressed his disappointment in his tweet in Urdu, which translates to: I worked hard and was passionate about PSL - I followed all the instructions in the group. I don t know how this message was missed. I want to play cricket, cricket is my life and I can t describe how I feel. God will make me strong and I will come back.
