Bismillah Khan, the Balochistan wicketkeeper-batsman, has tested positive for Covid-19 in Karachi. Khan had shown symptoms during the second round match against Southern Punjab in the Quaid-e-Azam trophy, but wasn't tested until the fourth day, after which he was substituted on the field by Adnan Akmal. Khan spent the remainder of the day isolated in the team hotel.

Khan's positive test has put a cloud over the entire tournament, as all six teams were staying at the same hotel. Everyone involved in the tournament - players, coaches and match officials - will now undergo testing, with the results due in a few hours.
