Mortaza recovers from Covid-19; wife still positive

Dhaka: Former Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza has recovered from Covid-19 after treatment at home for the dreaded virus since June 20.

Mortaza announced the negative result of his Covid-19 test on his Facebook page on Tuesday.

"I recovered from the virus after being treated at home. To those who are affected, stay positive. Keep faith in Allah and abide by the rules. Together we will keep fighting the virus," added the 36-year-old pacer.

"But two weeks after being diagnosed, my wife is still positive for coronavirus. She is doing well, keep her in your prayers," Mortaza wrote.

Like Mortaza, both the players had also tested positive for the virus three weeks ago.
