Saif Hassan tests Covid-19 negative, Abu Jayed positive

Bangladeshi right-handed opener Saif Hassan has finally tested negative for Covid-19, reports UNB.

He had tested positive twice in the last two weeks.

Saif is now all set to join the skill training camp of the national side at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in the city ahead of the Sri Lanka tour after his Tuesday's test result came out negative.

The other 25 members of the skill training camp tested negative for coronavirus but right-arm pacer Abu JayedRahi was diagnosed with Covid-19 in the latest test. The BCB will conduct another test before flying to the island nation.

All national team players and members of the coaching staff have to undergo at least four Covid-19 tests to confirm that every member of the team is safe.

"I was tested positive 14 days ago and later I went into self-isolation. Now, I've tested negative. My parents and my sister did a lot for me. I even forgot at one point that I was Covid-19 positive. They did everything they could for me." Saif wrote on his social media handle.
