Irfan Pathan has become the fourth player to test positive for COVID-19 from among those who participated in the recently-concluded Road Safety World Series. On Saturday, Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar announced that he had tested positive for the virus. His announcement was followed by similar ones from Irfan's brother Yusuf Pathan and S Badrinath. Here is more on the same.

Announcing the news on Twitter, Irfan said he has isolated himself at home. "I have tested positive for COVID-19 with no symptoms and have isolated myself and quarantined at home. I would request those who came in contact with me in recent past to please get themselves tested. Urging all to wear masks and maintain social distancing. Wishing you all good health," he wrote.
