West Indies vs Australia second ODI suspended due to COVID-19 positive case

The second ODI between the West Indies and Australia was suspended on Thursday due to a positive COVID-19 case.

The second ODI was called off soon after the toss.

The second One-Day International between West Indies and Australia in Barbados was suspended minutes before the start on Thursday after a member of the West Indies staff tested positive for COVID-19.

Confirmation of the suspension came straight after the toss, with both teams promptly making their way back to their respective dressing rooms.

All personnel were isolating pending COVID test results.

"A decision on when the match will be replayed will be made at a later date once all the tests are confirmed," West Indies Cricket said in a statement.

CA said the third ODI on Saturday was in "considerable doubt."

Australia's T20 tour of Bangladesh was also in doubt, CA added in a statement only hours after its August 3 - August 9 schedule was confirmed .
