India tour of West Indies:

Cricket West Indies will have the hosting rights for both additional games and USA Cricket will play no role in commercial relations and arrangements. In the recent ICC meetings in Dubai, Both Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Cricket West Indies agreed on the addition of two more T20Is to their schedule.

"That is the plan. Unless there is an unavoidable situation, Florida will host the extra two games, like last year. The CWI is the event host with special commercial relations and arrangements for local operations at the Broward Stadium. This is very similar to how the 2024 World Cup will operate for the US matches," a Cricket West Indies official said.

Cricket West Indies and USA Cricket have signed a partnership to host the ICC T20 World Cup in 2024. ICC has been a little aggressive in promoting cricket in the USA in recent times.

India played two T20Is at Florida's Broward Stadium as a part of their West Indies tour last year. After playing the first three games in West Indies, the Indian team faced VISA issues to travel to the USA for the last two matches. The Cricket West Indies official assured that there will be no more last-minute VISA issues this time.
