Pakistan Women's head coach David Hemp on Friday tested positive for COVID-19 which has delayed his return to Pakistan from UK. Bowling coach Arshad Khan will be in-charge of the women's team preparatory camp for the ODI World Cup in Karachi from January 8.
Hemp, who took over as the national's team head coach in October last year, is asymptomatic and could probably join the camp next week given his test returns negative for the virus.
