The India vs West Indies series is about to start from the 6th of February. On that day, India will play their 1000th ODI match in their cricket history. Meanwhile, it was already announced that Eden Gardens, Kolkata will host the whole T20I series starting from 16th February. Today, the Cricket Association of Bengal has announced that they will host the T20I series with 75% of the full capacity.
Earlier The Cricket Association of Bengal had hosted the final T20I match between India and New Zealand last year. They are very much confident of hosting this series with the same amount of success despite the current situation.
"It may be recalled that CAB had organised a T20 match against New Zealand successfully in November 2021 with players and support staff in bio-secure environment and with seventy per cent cricket lovers in attendance. This time too, CAB is confident that it will be able to successfully host the three T20 international matches against West Indies in a similar manner."
CAB President Avishek Dalmiya said in his official statement.
CAB President has also thanked the West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for allowing them to host the Ind vs WI series with a maximum of 75% capacity. "We are thankful to the Honourable Chief Minister Smt Mamata Banerjee, Chief Secretary and Government of West Bengal for announcing resumption of sporting activities as well as for allowing 75% of the capacity of spectators back to the stadium," he added.
