West Indies’ tour of Pakistan for T20 series confirmed

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chief Najam Sethi has confirmed that West Indies will be touring Pakistan towards the end of March for a three-match T20I series in Lahore.

Sethi confirmed that tour while talking to Dawn News after attending an International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting in Dubai.

The PCB Chief also revealed that he has also signed a trilateral series for Pakistan, featuring West Indies and Bangladesh for August 2018.

That series, he said, will see the national team play international cricket on American soil for the first time. Sethi also mentioned Florida and Houston as venues for the seven-match trilateral series.

It is worth to mention here that, West Indies tour of Pakistan was originally scheduled for November last year. However, due to thick smog in Lahore and the commitment of West Indies' major players to the Bangladesh Premier League became the main reasons for the postponement of the series.
