Star wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan and veteran all-rounder Shoaib Malik missed Pakistan’s practice due to flu, local media reported Wednesday.
According to Pakistan team manager Ibrahim Badees, COVID-19 tests of both players came back negative, but the doctor has advised them to rest.
The players will undergo a medical check-up tomorrow (Thursday) before the match.
In case they were unable to play against Australia, Sarfaraz Ahmed and Haider Ali would replace the duo in the game.
