West Indies ongoing Pakistan tour is in serious doubt after 5 more people in the visiting camp test positive for Covid-19 on Thursday.

Wicketkeeper Shai Hope, spinner Akeal Hosein and all-rounder Justin Greaves, along with assistant coach Roddy Estwick and physician Akshai Mansingh, tested positive after Wednesday's tests. The Pakistan Cricket Board is in conversation with the Windies' board whether they can continue with the limited-overs series in Karachi or not. Fast bowler Sheldon Cottrell and all-rounders Roston Chase and Kyle Mayers had earlier tested positive after arriving in Pakistan.

Pakistan lead the 3-match T20 series 1-0, with a game left. Post that, the 2 sides were due to play a 3-match ODI series as well.
