Karachi: Windies will tour Pakistan for three T20 Internationals in March and April this year, the PCB confirmed during the ICC meetings in Dubai.

He said in return Pakistan has agreed to take part in a tri-series in Florida and Houston in August involving Windies and Bangladesh. “It is an arrangement for this year and we will see how things pan out later on,” he said. Sethi had initially announced a five-year agreement between the two boards which required Windies to tour Pakistan every year for three T20 games and in return Pakistan taking part in events in North America. But the arrangement was later withdrawn without any explanation. “Sethi met with Cameron in Dubai and the matter was finalised,” another official said.
