The officials stated that the Pakistan and West Indies one day international series was postponed on Thursday as many tourists tested positive for Covid-19. Five participants of the West Indies team including three players — had tested positive for Coronavirus on Thursday, and four more were cases reported at the weekend. This particular series is a part of the qualifying round for the World Cup 2023. The officials announced that there are three matches in this series and it was supposed to start on Saturday. The games will be conducted in June following year. They also stated that the ruling was taken to safeguard players and accept the insufficient aids left in the West Indies team. However, a third Twenty20 tournament between the two sides went along on Thursday, with a weary West Indies team earning the toss and choosing to bat. The first two matches were won by Pakistan.

The revocation of the ODI series is a massive blow to Pakistan, which has seen matches by New Zealand and England revoked lately due to security issues. West Indies members announced that the current covid positive test results in the team appeared from wicketkeeper and batsman Shai Hope, all-rounder Justin Greaves, assistant coach Roddy Estwick, left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein, and physician Akshai Mansingh. Players who tested positive included left-arm pace bowler Sheldon Cottrell, and all-rounders Roston Chase and Kyle Mayers. Officials announced those who tested positive for coronavirus will have to be separated and kept isolated in Karachi before being permitted to go home. In October New Zealand ceased their first trip to the country in 18 years immediately before the opening match was about to begin, due to a security alert. That was observed by England’s ruling to rescind stays by their men’s and women’s teams planned for October.
