Pakistan and West Indies have agreed to revise the dates for their upcoming four-match T20I series after a positive COVID-19 test rocked West Indies during its current series against Australia.
The decision was confirmed by Cricket West Indies (CWI) on Sunday. The West Indies' second match against Australia was suspended after the positive coronavirus test.
It was later played on Saturday, while the last match was pushed back to Monday, just one day before the scheduled opener against Pakistan.
