DHAKA: Cricket West Indies (CWI) have approved in principle a tour of Bangladesh scheduled to be held in January-February, subject to the finalisation of medical and logistical details.
The teams are set to play three ODIs and two Tests as part of the Cricket World Cup Super League and World Test Championship respectively.
The approval was made following a recommendation from CWI’s Medical Advisory Committee (MAC), having received a detailed report from the pre-tour visit of Bangladesh by CWI director and member of the CWI and ICC MAC, Dr Mansingh, and security manager Paul Slowe.
CWI will continue discussions with the Bangladesh Cricket Board and the West Indies Players’ Association to fine-tune the various arrangements in order to ensure the health and safety of the players and team management unit.
Should the series go ahead, it will mark Bangladesh’s first international cricket since Zimbabwe toured the country in February and March earlier this year.
The West Indies team is just coming off disappointing T20I and World Test Championship series defeats to New Zealand in recent weeks.
