Dominica has withdrawn as one of the co-hosts of next year’s T20 World Cup citing the delay in completing upgrades of match and practice venues, Cricket West Indies (CWI) said.

Dominica was one of seven countries in the West Indies selected to stage matches in the showpiece tournament in June along with the United States.

“When hosting tournaments of this scale, it is inevitable that circumstances will arise which will require the organisers to adapt and alter plans,” Baksh said.

“This is something that happens in any event of this nature, and why we have contingency plans for all functional areas …”
