The Pakistani squad is safe and no one from the team has been injured as a result of the earthquake that hit Jamaica, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said Saturday.

In a tweet, the PCB said: "Thankfully, our men's side are safe and sound after this morning’s earthquake in Jamaica and are ready for the third day of the ongoing Test, which will start on time."

A 7.2-magnitude had rocked Jamaica, according to the US Geological Survey, with the epicenter being recorded in Haiti.

The Pakistan Test squad reached Jamaica earlier this week for the two-match Test series that started on Thursday.
