Windies-Pakistan T20I series reduced

BRIDGETOWN: The Pakistan limited-overs cricket team will play one match less in the T20 International series against the West Indies, the adjustment necessitated due to changes in the fixtures in the ongoing ODI series against Australia.

Pakistan were scheduled to play five T20Is in the West Indies but will now play four matches, beginning July 28.

The home team's ODI series against Australia was hit by a Covid-19 scare after a West Indies non-playing staff had tested positive for the virus ahead of the second match, forcing Cricket West Indies (CWI) to postpone the tie on July 23 and reschedule it to July 25.

The alteration in the schedule forced CWI to rejig the series against Pakistan.

"A four-match T20 International series has been agreed, scheduled to start on Wednesday, July 28 at Kensington Oval, Barbados," CWI said in a statement on Monday. IANS
