West Indies to tour Pakistan for T20I series in March

LAHORE - Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Friday confirmed that West Indies will be touring the country for a three-match T20I series in Lahore by the end of March 2018.

The trilateral series will be held in the United States with Florida and Houston as venues for the seven-match bilateral series.

Earlier, the Caribbean side's tour to Pakistan was due to take place in November last year, but adverse weather conditions in Lahore and the West Indies' major players commitment to the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) became the main reasons behind the postponement.

March 31, Saturday  Pak vs Windies, 2nd T20I Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
