Pakistan vs West Indies ODIs Postponed To June 2022

Pakistan vs West Indies ODIs: The development comes as a result of several players on the visiting team testing positive for Covid-19.

The three-match One-Day International series between Pakistan and the West Indies, which was scheduled to start on Saturday, has been postponed until June 2022 due to a Covid-19 outbreak among the visiting team

The West Indies were infected with the virus the day they arrived in Karachi, with three players and one member of the support crew testing positive. While the tour was able to continue, the discovery of five more Covid cases during tests on Wednesday – the day before the third and final T20I – put the situation out of everyone’s control.

With Devon Thomas also out with a finger injury. West Indies were left with only 14 players to choose from for the T20I leg of the tour.

While this was enough to complete the T20I leg, both boards agreed that continuing with such a depleted squad would be unwise. Especially given the ODIs that followed were also part of the Super League. Which determines a team’s progress into the 2023 World Cup.

“Rapid Antigen testing was complete on the remaining 15 West Indies players. And six-player support people on Thursday morning as part of the PCB Covid-19 Protocols,”

According to a joint PCB-CWI release:

“The West Indies touring party’s 21 members all received negative test results. As a result, the T20 International (T20I) on Thursday went off without a hitch.

“However, it has been agreed that the series, which is part of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League. Will be postponed and rescheduled for early June 2022. Taking into account both the teams’ welfare as well as restricted resources in the West Indies side for the ODIs.”

“The West Indies will have an equal opportunity to pitch. Their best available players in the World Cup qualification matches as a result of this.”

Pakistan vs West Indies: After tonight’s match, the 15 West Indies players and six support staff who has been cleared of the illness will return home

The rest of the team will remain in Karachi, including Sheldon Cottrell, Roston Chase, Kyle Mayers, Shai Hope, Akeal Hosein, Justin Greaves, assistant coach Roddy Estwick, team physician Dr. Akshai Mansingh, and one additional non-coaching member.

Anyone who tests positive for Covid-19 will be placing in isolation for ten days. And will only be release after two negative tests, according to the bio-security guidelines for this trip.

It’s unclear how many of the West Indies’ players came to be infected with Covid-19. The 21-member team landed in Karachi through Dubai on commercial aircraft from a variety of locales. They were quarantine for two days before reuniting as a team to prepare for and play the first two T20Is.
