CWI, CA to discuss resumption of series

CRICKET West Indies (CWI) yesterday announced that all 152 persons tested for COVID-19 on Thursday evening returned negative results.
The testing came after a positive result on Thursday, prompting the suspension the second CG Insurance One-Day International (ODI) before a ball was bowled at Kensington Oval, Barbados.
All members of the West Indies and Australia teams and coaching staff, as well as match officials, event staff and TV production crew were tested back at the hotel with everyone being in room isolation since. Following confirmation from the Ministry of Health officials in Barbados that all the results are negative, CWI will now hold meetings with Cricket Australia (CA), Barbados Cricket Association, and Government of Barbados officials to agree when the resumption of the CG Insurance ODI Series at Kensington Oval can take place.
On Thursday, the second CG Insurance ODI between West Indies and Australia was suspended after the toss due to a positive COVID-19 test result from a non-playing member of the West Indies squad following discussions between the local health officials and CWI and CA Medical Teams before the start of play.
CWI has been working closely with Local Ministries of Health to operate strict bio-secure bubbles successfully during the past year, and will continue to prioritise the health, safety and wellbeing for all concerned.
