PCB withdraws COVID-19 rules for upcoming West Indies series

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided not to implement COVID-19 restrictions for future matches, which include having a bio-secure bubble, after a successful Covid-19-regulation-free experiment at a domestic competition.

According to a PCB official, the board will follow this policy during the series against the West Indies. According to the PCB, the Cricket West Indies (CWI) will be handed a proposal to play the series without taking COVID-19 precautions.

Cricket will be played in a regular environment with players and coaching staff able to engage with one another. COVID-19 testing, on the other hand, will only be performed if a player or staff member show symptoms of Covid-19.

If someone tests positive for Covid-19, that person will be quarantined for five days. All international series and domestic events in Pakistan will follow the same policy.

The West Indies series schedule is as follows.

Series schedule:

• 8 June – 1st ODI, Rawalpindi
• 10 June – 2nd ODI, Rawalpindi
• 12 June – 3rd ODI, Rawalpindi
