Dhaka, Jul 4 (UNI) Former Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza has tested Covid-19 positive for the second time inside 15 days.
BCB chief physician Debashish Chowdhury confirmed the news on Saturday, according to Cricbuzz.

According to a BCB official, Mortaza was tested a few days back and the results came out positive again.
Meanwhile, he is recovering at his home in Dhaka.
Since the Covid-19 pandemic reached Bangladesh, the former skipper had been working to fight the health crisis in his constituency.
Mortaza had become a Member of Parliament from Narail constituency in 2018.
