PCB, Cricket West Indies reschedule T20I series

LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Cricket West Indies have agreed to postpone the three-match T20I series, which was due to take place in January 2023 in Pakistan, to the first quarter of 2024.

As per the latest development, the decision was made in light of the teams’ preparations for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup, which will be held in the West Indies and the USA.

“The decision has been made considering 2024 is an ICC Men’s T20 World Cup year, with the event due to be hosted in the West Indies and the USA in June 2024, and the shortest format matches will, therefore, help both sides to prepare for the tournament,” the PCB stated.

The three-match T20I series in January 2023 is not part of the recently announced 2023-2027 ICC Future Tours Programme.

The West Indies played their ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League matches against Pakistan in Multan in May 2022, while the December 2021 series comprised three T20Is in Karachi.
