Pakistan's Raza Hasan expelled for breaching COVID-19 protocols
He was playing for Northern’s Second XI in the Quaid-e-Azam trophy. The Pakistan Cricket Board confirmed that the 28-year-old has been sent back home after he “left the bio-secure premises at a local hotel without seeking a prior clearance from the medical team” and the High Performance department.
Nadeem Khan, the PCB’s High Performance Director, called his actions “irresponsible and damaging”. “It is sad and unfortunate that despite several reminders and educational programmes on the significance and importance of respecting and following Covid-19 protocols, Raza Hasan decided to take matters in his hand and overstepped the line,” Khan said in a press release.
“As such, he has been expelled from the tournament and will not be allowed for the remaining season.”
