Ahead of the historic 1st Test vs Australia, hosts Pakistan were dealt a huge blow as pacer Haris Rauf tested positive for Covid-19.

PCB in a statement said that he has been put in isolation but the rest of the team started training in Rawalpindi, which will host the 1st Test starting March 4.

Rauf was in contention to make his Test debut in his hometown after fast bowler Hasan Ali and all-rounder Faheem Ashraf were ruled out of the first Test due to injuries. 

It's Australia's first Test series in Pakistan since 1998.
