CEO of Cricket West Indies, CWI, Johnny Graves, says it has been a difficult time for the board, but more so the players and support staff that were in Pakistan for the six match tour.
On Thursday, both the CWI and the Pakistan Cricket Board agreed to postpone the three match ODI series after more positive Covid-19 cases were reported in the West Indies camp following Wednesday’s PCR testing, raising the total number of positive cases to nine.
Graves says getting more Covid cases caused even more anxiety among the players being away from home and so close to the Christmas holiday.
He says being away from home in bio-secure bubbles is a very difficult environment for such long period of time.
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.
