Pakistan fast bowler Naseem Shah will travel with the team to New Zealand next week after completing two-day isolation at home because of COVID-19, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Friday. Shah tested positive and will miss the remaining two Twenty20s against England at Lahore.
Pakistan's young bowling sensation Naseem Khan has tested positive for Covid-19, a day after it was announced he had contracted pneumonia. However, the strike bowler has been released from the hospital. A week after an unknown member of the Pakistan support staff tested positive for Covid-19, Naseem is the second member of the Pakistan camp to develop the illness during the current series against England as per ESPNcricinfo.
Shah was discharged from hospital on Thursday after being diagnosed with pneumonia and the PCB said the fast bowler was feeling "much better." "Shah is back in the team hotel where he will follow all Covid-19 protocols," the PCB said in a statement. Pakistan is due to leave for New Zealand next Monday to participate in a triangular Twenty20 series also featuring Bangladesh.
Prolific opener Mohammad Rizwan hit a fighting half-century before debutant all-rounder Aamer Jamal starred with the ball as Pakistan beat England by six runs in another last-over finish in the fifth T20 international in Lahore on Wednesday. Rizwan's 46-ball 63 was the cornerstone of Pakistan's 145 all out in 19 overs after express pacer Mark Wood grabbed 3-20 to derail the home team who were asked to bat first at Gaddafi Stadium. England's stand-in skipper Moeen Ali smashed a brilliant undefeated 37-ball 51, with four sixes and two fours, but failed to score the 15 needed off the final over as England managed 139-7.

LAHORE: Captain Moeen Ali’s fighting unbeaten half century went in vain as Pakistan successfully defended a below-par total to beat England by six runs in the fifth Twenty20 on Wednesday.
Pakistan fast bowler Naseem Shah has been ruled out of the remaining matches of the T20 International series against England after doctors confirmed that he has contracted pneumonia and will remain hospitalised. The 21-year-old was set to feature in the fifth T20I but the youngster had to be hospitalised late Tuesday night after he complained of chest pain, breathing difficulties and coughing. The Pakistan Cricket Board said on Wednesday that Naseem's participation in a three-nation tournament in New Zealand which is followed by the World Cup will also be advised by the medical panel which will be monitoring his recovery.
