Former Pakistan batsman Faisal Iqbal joked that veteran all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez has been “having an affair” with COVID-19 for a while.
Faisal’s comments come after Hafeez was made to self-isolate after breaching the biosecurity protocols.
This occurred when Hafeez took a photo with a member of the public at the golf course near the on-site hotel in Southampton.

“Hafeez and COVID-19 are having an affair from long,” Faisal said on Twitter.
Prior to the ongoing tour of England, Hafeez tested positive for the virus before having a private test that came back negative.
He then tested positive twice more, which got him clearance from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to travel to England.
Hafeez is not part of Pakistan’s Test squad, but is likely to feature in the three-match T20 series that follows.
The second Test between England and Pakistan will begin on Thursday in Southampton.
