Recently the reports are surfacing that two West Indies players have been tested positive for novel Covid-19.


Starting on December 13, they will play three T20Is and the equal number of ODIs at the National Stadium Karachi.


The players' identities have not been revealed, but they have been placed in isolation at the same hotel where the squad is staying, according to individuals close to the case.


They also stated that the squad did not attend the evening training session at the aforementioned site owing to the same reason.


The West Indies team manager, on the other side, stated that they are still waiting for confirmation of our Covid-19 testing findings.


Pakistan and the Windies were both supposed to practise in the stadium, but they chose to rest just a few hours before they arrived.


This is the West Indies' first visit to Pakistan since three Twenty20 Internationals were played in April 2018. The two-time World Champions will play ODIs in Pakistan for the first time since December 2006.
