Harare, July 6: Zimbabwe players Sean Williams and Craig Ervine are likely to miss the one-off Test against Bangladesh after the duo was asked to self-isolate. Both players have been asked to go into self-isolation after coming in contact with Covid-19 positive family members.

"Sean Williams and Craig Ervine, part of Zimbabwe's 20-man squad announced last week, could not join the squad," ESPNcricinfo quoted Zimbabwe Cricket media manager Darlington Majonga as saying. "They had to self-isolate after both came into contact with family members who tested positive for Covid. According to national health protocols, they had to self-isolate," he added.

However, wicket-keeper batsman Mushfiqur Rahim is on track to be included in the playing XI for the one-off Test and Domingo is "pretty confident" that he will play in the game.

After the one-off Test, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe will lock horns in a three-match ODIs series, starting July 16. The three-match T20I series between the two sides will begin on July 23.
