No pronouncements have been made yet relating to West Indies hosting New Zealand and South Africa in the near future.
This was according to Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Cricket West Indies, Johnny Grave who stated that following the International Cricket Council’s CEO Teleconference recently, “nothing at this stage,” when asked about the position relating to the two series.
Grave added, however that there was a conference set for today.
“We have a board teleconference on 30th April but even that may be too soon for a decision.”
West Indies were expected to tour England in June for three Tests but that has since been postponed due to a total shutdown of all cricket on the account of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
According to reports, the decision was also based on the uncertainty of the resumption of sports worldwide and international travel.
Immediately following the scheduled England series, West Indies are set to face New Zealand in three One Day Internationals and three T20 Internationals, two of which were booked for Guyana in July.
After that, the Caribbean side is expected to face South Africa in two Tests and five T20Is at the end of July and into August.
Grave believes that those series, along with the Caribbean Premier League would serve as good preparation for West Indies ahead of their T20 World Cup title defense in Australia later in the year.
All plans for that tournament are continuing as planned with no decision made to postpone it as yet.
