Australian leg-spinner Fawad Ahmed tested positive for Covid-19 while playing in the Pakistan Super League and has been put in isolation, his club said. Two-time champion Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators match postponed due to this situation on Monday.

The Pakistan Cricket Board said all remaining members of Islamabad United have tested negative.

"One of our players, Fawad Ahmed tested positive ... and was immediately put in isolation two days ago," Islamabad said in a statement.

In his only appearance in PSL this year, Ahmed took 1-40 against Peshawar Zalmi on Saturday. Islamabad lost by six wickets.

It's the first Covid-19 positive test in Pakistan's premier twenty20 league, which began on February 20.
