KARACHI – Beleaguered West Indies will attempt to shake off the disappointment of four positive COVID-19 cases in their camp and refocus their attention when they take on powerful Pakistan in the opening Twenty20 International here today.
The Caribbean side arrived last Thursday but saw their preparations rocked after Sheldon Cottrell, Roston Chase and Kyle Mayers tested positive and were ruled out of the entire series, which comprises three T20 Internationals and three One-Day Internationals.
The fourth positive case is a non-coaching member of the support staff.
Captain Nicholas Pooran, who will oversee the series in the absence of the injured Kieron Pollard, said while the developments were “unfortunate”, West Indies would make the most of the situation by getting the best out of the other players. (CMC)
