PCB scraps five-year agreement with Windies

West Indies and Pakistan … still expected to face each other in a March series.

KARACHI, Pakistan,  CMC – Financial concerns have forced the Pakistan Cricket Board to cancel its proposed five-year agreement with West Indies but has confirmed the Caribbean side will still tour Pakistan in March for a three-match Twenty20 series.

The PCB had last year announced a bilateral agreement with Cricket West Indies which would have seen the Windies play an annual T20 series here, with Pakistan contesting a reciprocal Tri-Nations Series in the United States, involving West Indies and a team to-be-determined.

PCB chairman Najam Sethi, however, told media here that after a review of the figures, the agreement would not be financially viable.
