West Indies and India are scheduled to play the final two T20Is of their ongoing five-match series in Florida, the US, but there still is no clarity about the teams flying to the country due to their visa clearance issues.
After reports of the visa issue came in, the second T20I was delayed on August 1 as the players’ luggage did not arrive on time. There was a gap of two days between the first and second games as the two teams moved to St. Kitts for two games. The two matches, scheduled on August 1 and 2 were supposed to begin at 8 PM IST but due to the delay, timings for both games were changed.
“The US VISA entry appointments are booked for Wednesday in Guyana. All the relevant applications, etc have been done. Beyond that, we have no control. But we are optimistic,” CWI president Ricky Skerritt was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
CWI is hopeful of Florida hosting the fixtures, but also looking at alternative plans
The teams aim to get there by Thursday for the two matches, that will take place on Saturday and Sunday (August 6 and 7) in Miami, Florida. Miami and Georgetown, Guyana, are connected by a five-hour flight.
