The ODI series between West Indies and Pakistan, scheduled to start in Karachi on December 18, has now been postponed and rescheduled for early June 2022 after five more members of the visiting team tested Covid-19 positive on Thursday. The Cricket West Indies (CWI) informed that five more members of the squad tested positive, taking the total number of cases to nine since their arrival in Karachi on December 9.


The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the CWI then issued a joint statement, saying the ODI series will be postponed and rescheduled for early June 2022. “On Thursday morning and as part of the PCB Covid-19 Protocols, Rapid Antigen tests were conducted on the remaining 15 West Indies players and six-player support personnel. 


All 21 members of the West Indies touring party returned negative test results,” PCB said in a statement. The statement said that the members of the touring team, who had tested negative after Wednesday’s PCR and Thursday’s rapid antigen tests, would depart from Pakistan after the Karachi T20I.
