WICB announces changes to the Digicel Home Series 2008 itinerary

The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) yesterday announced two changes to the Digicel Home Series 2008 itineraries.

The third One Day International between the West Indies and Sri Lanka scheduled for April 16 at the Beausejour Stadium in St. Lucia, has been moved one day earlier to April 15 at the request of Sri Lanka Cricket.

The Twenty/20 day/night match scheduled for Kensington Oval, Barbados, on June 21 will now be played in the afternoon of June 20 at the same venue, while the Vice Chancellor’s Game scheduled for June 20, will now take place on June 21 (day/night) at the Three Ws’ Oval, Cave Hill Campus, Barbados.

This change has occurred because the lights proposed for Kensington Oval will not be ready in time to stage night matches at that venue.
