West Indies‘ tour of Pakistan is in jeopardy as five more members have been tested positive for Covid-19. Three of them are players- Shai Hope, Justin Greaves and Akeal Hosain and the other two are from support staff- assistant coach Roddy Estwick and team physician Dr Akshai Mansingh. All these members have isolated themselves.

Notable that before the start of the series three other players, Sheldon Cottrell, Roston Chase and Kyle Mayers had tested positive for Covid-19

Earlier New Zealand and England opted out of the Pakistan tour due to security reasons.

West Indies has already been trailing by 0-2 in the 3-match T2oI series. In the first match, West Indies was comprehensively beaten by 63 runs while in the second game they put up a better show still ended up losing by 9 runs. The third game is scheduled to play on December 16. Due to the Covid-19 scare, all games were scheduled in Karachi.

After the T20I series, there is a 3-match ODI series scheduled to play at Karachi starting on December 18. But it will be interesting to see whether West Indies wants to go ahead with the tour or not.

Earlier in Sep-Oct, New Zealand and England opted out from the Pakistan tour due to security concerns. If the series gets cancelled from here, PCB will have to bear another big financial loss.
