PCB issued a statement expressing their condolences to Shaun Tait on the demise of his father and informing him that his arrival in Pakistan has been delayed.

“PCB condoles the passing of bowling coach Shaun Tait’s father, due to which his arrival in Pakistan has been delayed. Shaun’s new arrival date will be confirmed in due course,” the statement read.
