Three members of Pakistan Women's team have tested positive for COVID-19, the PCB said in a statement on Thursday. The squad had assembled at the Hanif Mohammad High Performance Centre in Karachi for a preparatory camp ahead of the upcoming ODI series against West Indies at home. The players - not identified by PCB yet - returned a positive result in the routine testing done on Wednesday and have been placed in a 10-day quarantine that ends on November 6.
Following the protocols, the rest of the squad has also been pushed into a short isolation period until November 2, and will undergo a test every alternate day, starting Friday.
