The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Cricket West Indies (CWI) have issued a joint statement after five more positive cases were reported in the West Indies camp following Wednesday’s PCR testing, raising the total number of positive cases to nine since their arrival in Karachi on December 9.

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 have returned negative test results. As such, Thursday’s T20 International (T20I) proceeded as planned.

However, taking into consideration both the teams’ welfare as well as limited resources in the West Indies side for the ODIs, it has been agreed that the series, which forms part of the ICC Men’s Cricket Word Cup Super League, will be postponed and rescheduled for early June 2022.

Good. It was a waste of time series anyway. There is nothing to be achieved by touring Pakistan for three meaningless ODIs at christmas when young men want to be at home relaxing.

The only group that benefit from the last two tours are the Fans of Sri Lanka and Pakistan, there was no planning or preparation done for our players to benefit.
England Lions is playing in Australia, India in South Africa, England U19 is in Sri Lanka, the test team is home, who is our players working with, and where are they working on their game?
Here is a West Indies coach that understand what is needed to prepare a team for competition.

Cummins was given the go ahead yesterday, to work on his game in NSW, for the Boxing day test.
