The proposed two T20 matches between the West Indies and Pakistan set for Florida, USA in March has been called off due to visa issues concerning the Pakistani players.
Originally the matches were carded to take place on March 25 and 26 at the Central Broward Regional Park. The matches would have preceded Pakistan’s tour of the West Indies. Guardian Media understands that the organisers could not secure visas for some of the Pakistani players and hence a decision was taken to scrap the two matches.
West Indies will host Pakistan for a seven-week tour beginning at the end of March, comprising two T20Is, three ODIs and three Tests spread across five venues in the Caribbean. It is the first Pakistan tour of the West Indies since 2013 — when Pakistan won a five-match ODI series 3-1 and swept a pair of T20Is — and their first Test series in the Caribbean since a drawn two-match series in 2011.
