USA likely to host India-West Indies T20 series in August

Soon after the completion of the four match Test series against West Indies, Team India is likely to play a T20 series against West Indies in Florida.

According to a report in ESPNCricinfo, BCCI officials will be meeting with members of the WICB in Florida to discuss the possibility of staging a T20 series at the Central Broward Regional Park in Florida.

If everything goes according to plan, the series will be held towards the end of August.

The report further stated that WICB officials contacted Duncan Finch, Broward Parks & Recreation Manager to chalk out a plan of hosting a three match T20 series after the conclusion of the Test series.

The four match Test series that started in the Caribbean on 21st of July will end on 22nd of August.

"We had an email inquiring about late-August availability of the stadium by representatives of the WICB last week. We have August 24 to 27, and they were asking about Sunday, August 28, as well. We would have to cancel a small event to give them the Sunday," a source told the website.

It is also learnt that the WICB has approached the ICC for granting permission to host the T20 series in USA.

Back in 2012, the West Indies cricket board sought permission from the USA Cricket Association to play two T20s against New Zealand.

However, the ICC in 2015 stripped off that power from USA Cricket Association. But, if an agreement is reached, this will be the first time USA will host a full cricket series after 2012. The stadium in Florida is all set to host six Caribbean Premier League games between July 28 and 31.

A total of four pitches are present in the stadium, two of which are used for CPL. With the BCCI and WICB officials all set to meet at the facility in Florida, the home association needs to prepare a suitable pitch that will meet ICC standards if an agreement is reached.
