Pakistan Cricket Team Tours West Indies
The Pakistan team is also scheduled to tour Bangladesh for a three-match T20I series, starting on July 20, as part of their preparations for the upcoming cricket season. With the West Indies series just around the corner, fans are eagerly anticipating the exciting matches between these two talented teams.
Cricket West Indies has launched ticket sales for the upcoming white-ball home series against Pakistan, with the series set to begin on July 31 and featuring three T20 Internationals in Florida and three ODIs in Trinidad, despite a proposal from the Pakistan Cricket Board to alter the match format.
The series will kick off with three T20Is in Florida on July 31, August 2, and 3, followed by three ODIs in Trinidad on August 8, 10, and 12. The Cricket West Indies has rejected the Pakistan Cricket Board's proposal to convert the ODI leg into T20Is, citing a desire to stick to the pre-approved format. Ticket sales have begun with a limited-time 2-for-1 deal on T20I tickets and 50% off on individual ticket prices to attract fans in the US.
The minimum ticket price for ODI matches is $8, while the most expensive seats will cost up to $175. The West Indies Cricket Board is likely to reject Pakistan's request to shorten the upcoming ODI series and increase the number of T20 matches during Pakistan's tour of the Caribbean. The PCB proposed converting ODIs into additional T20Is to give the national team more match practice ahead of major tournaments.
Despite discussions, CWI seems to have stuck with the original itinerary, meaning Pakistan will play the full three-match ODI series and three scheduled T20Is. The T20Is are set to begin on July 31, followed by the ODIs on August 8, 10, and 12. This series is a significant opportunity for both teams to gain valuable match practice and prepare for upcoming major tournaments.
