Now today I tested positive for coronavirus. I don&#39;t understand why all of this is happening to me. Honestly,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 26-year-old played for South Africa Under-19s in 2012 and has been contracted to Eastern Province and has also played for franchise cricket for the Warriors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Last year, he was hospitalised in Scotland after contracting Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). After he had contracted GBS, a rare disorder in which the body&#39;s immune system attacks the nervous system, South African cricketers had donated 50,000 Rand to help the rehabilitation of Nqweni in February, reports Sport24.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He is the third cricketer known to have been tested positive for the coronavirus after Zafar Sarfraz of Pakistan and Scotland&#39;s Majid Haq.<\/p>\r\n",
