CM Sindh answering his request, directed the health department to ensure that Mohammad’s test was taken at his place as he is one of the most valuable assets of the country.

A team will visit former cricketer’s residence, who will take his sample. Shah has also asked to share the result of the test with him as soon as the process is completed.

Apart from Hanif, the eldest, Wazir Mohammad, and younger ones, Mushtaq Mohammad and Sadiq Mohammad, represented Pakistan in the top forms of cricket. Only Raees Mohammad, the fifth brother, did not play in a single Test match.

Later, Advisor to Chief Minister Sindh on Law and Environment, Senator Murtaza Wahab confirmed that the test has been taken.

“Tests of both Sadiq Mohd [Mohammad] Sb and his wife have been taken. Fingers crossed and prayers for their well being. Aaameen,” said Wahab in a tweet.
