Chris Gayle to join Kings XI Punjab in UAE on time after corona negative

Jamaica, Aug 25 (UNI) Chris Gayle has tested negative for coronavirus after attending birthday party of sprinter Usain Bolt according to reports.
There had been reports that he had attended the birthday celebrations of Usain Bolt - who has since tested positive and is currently in home isolation - in Kingston last Friday.
While Gayle will be joining his Kings XI Punjab team-mates in the UAE on time after returning two negative Covid-19 tests.
Gayle, the highest run-scorer in T20s, posted the news on Instagram Stories, with videos of his swab testing, prior to his flight to the UAE.
Upon arrival in the UAE, he will be tested at the airport, followed by a six-day quarantine with further testing on days one, three and five. Only once those are cleared can team members start training in the biosecure bubble.
