Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has recovered from coronavirus. Afridi previously tested positive for the contagious disease on June 13. He announced his recovery on Twitter.
“Alhamdulillah, my wife & daughters, Aqsa & Ansha have re-tested after our previously positive results for #COVIDー19, & are now clear. Thanking u all for your continuous well wishes, & may the Almighty bless you and yours. Now back to family time; I’ve missed holding this one,” he wrote on Twitter.

Afridi was the fifth cricketer to be tested positive for the disease. Later, the list increased as Mashrafe Mortaza also tested positive for the virus. Later, 10 members of the Pakistan Cricket team, who were supposed to travel for the England tour, also tested positive. However, six have since tested negative and are set to feature in England later this year.
