'My symptoms are not at all severe.'
Former Pakistani cricketer Taufeeq Umar has tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
Umar said the symptoms are mild and he is self-isolating at home.
"I got myself tested last night after feeling a little sick last night, and the result came positive. My symptoms are not at all severe," Umar was quoted as saying by Geo News.
"I have isolated myself at home. I appeal to everyone to pray for my swift recovery," he added.
At the time of testing, the former opener was not showing symptoms other than having a mild headache.
The 38-year-old, who has represented Pakistan in 44 Tests and 22 ODIs, is currently serving as the junior national selector.
Last month, former Pakistan first-class cricketer Zafar Sarfaraz had passed away after testing positive for COVID-19.
