Four members of the Cricket West Indies (CWI), including three players and a non-coaching member have been tested COVID positive.
As confirmed by the board itself, the COVID positive members are currently in isolation and will not be part of the Pak vs WI three-match T20I series to start from 13th December.
The names include Sheldon Cottrell, Roston Chase, and Kyle Mayers excluding whom will serve a great blow to the men in maroon ahead of the T20Is.
Four of them will complete a 10-day isolation period. Notably, they were tested upon their arrival to Pakistan and PCR tests confirmed COVID positive while they were already isolated.
