Cricket
Australia (CA) on Tuesday confirmed the postponement of the men's T20I
series against West Indies which was slated to be played in October this year.
CA and the West Indies Cricket Board agreed to postpone the T20I originally
scheduled for Queensland in October.The matches were scheduled to be played at
Townsville, Cairns and the Gold Coast on October 4, 6 and 9 respectively.
These matches were
to serve as warm-ups for the ICC
T20 World Cup but now the tournament has already been postponed due to the
coronavirus pandemic.
"In light of
this development, and given the preference to host the warm-up three-match T20
series against the West Indies to coincide with the rescheduled T20 World Cup
in Australia (which will take place in either 2021 or 2022), it has been agreed
to postpone the matches," CA said in an official statement.
The International
Cricket Council (ICC) had confirmed earlier that the T20 World Cup would not be
going ahead this year. Australia will most likely play a limited-over series
comprising of three ODIs and three T20Is against England in September.
On the other hand,
West Indies recently played a three-match Test series against England in a
bio-secure environment.
