Chase, Cottrell, Mayers test positive for Covid-19 in Karachi

Cricket West Indies (CWI) has said that Sheldon Cottrell, Roston Chase, Kyle Mayers and a non-training individual from the group the board have returned positive outcomes in the Covid-19 tests led upon appearance in Pakistan. Any remaining individuals from the visiting party have returned two negative RT-PCR tests since their appearance in Karachi.

Every one of the three players who have tried positive is completely immunized and without "major" side effects, the CWI further said. They will, however, be inaccessible for the impending series against Pakistan and go through a time of self-separation for 10 days and until they return negative RT-PCR test results.

"Our appearance testing conventions in Pakistan have affirmed four Covid-19 up-sides," Johnny Grave, CEO of CWI, said. "These were affirmed while the players and staff were as yet in-room disengagements, so regardless of this huge mishap to our readiness plans, we are sure that the visit can proceed as every other person returned adverse PCRs preceding their appearance into Pakistan and two contrary PCRs since they have been in Karachi.

"The danger of COVID-19 disease is difficult to eliminate totally from a cricket visit, despite the way that a considerable lot of our players have been living in bio-secure air pockets persistently since before the CPL. This strange deficiency of three players from our crew will genuinely affect our group arrangements, yet the remainder of the crew are feeling great and will start preparing today in front of our first game on Monday."
