sscomp32 Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) Quote INDIAN CRICKET is likely to make its first official foray into American soil, with MSDhoni & Co set to play a short T20 series against the West Indies in Florida in late August. The Indian Test team is presently involved in a four-Test series in the Caribbean, which concludes on August 22 at Port-of-Spain in Trinidad. It’s learnt the Indian board was keen on playing a few T20s against the world champions at the Central Broward Regional Park at Lauderhill in Florida, which is presently hosting six Caribbean Premier League (CPL) matches. Sources, however, indicated it’s not clear whether it will end up being a bilateral series, with a T20 tri-series involving Bangladesh being the other alternative. Indian Express tried to contact BCCI president Anurag Thakur but he was unavailable for comment. But other sources have confirmed that talks are very much on to make this series happen and a meeting will take place in Lauderhill late on Tuesday night to decide the final schedule. http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/coming-soon-at-florida-india-west-indies-to-play-three-t20i-games-2937713/ from BCCI and WICB. WIll be much better for the US public than the proposed MINI IPL. Edited July 27, 2016 by sscomp32 express bowling and sandeep 2
sourab10forever Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Even I like the idea WICB will at least make some money....these test matches are no gainers for them..

Read the full article. If this happen BCCI will take a major part as a damage recovery for 2014 Misbah and velu 1 1
sandeep Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Last time there was an international game at this stadium it was very low scoring with the pitch not conducive to stroke play. I think it was SL & NZ. Wish I could watch these in person...
kruiser Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Good, if it happens, I am going for at least one game!
Adi_91 Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Too much. August is almost here and they schedule a series. Is this finalized?

Ankit_sharma03 Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Do watever Plzz rest Kohli, ashwin, Shami and ask Rahane to retire from t20 format
Lannister Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 The old fool's still want to play T20s? Haven't he had enough arse kicking already?

Ankit_sharma03 Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) India T20s in Florida '98% on'; return visit in 2017 a possibility CCI and WICB officials are confident of securing US visas in time for their respective squads to go ahead with the proposed T20 series in Florida next month. A source with knowledge of the negotiations between the two boards, which took place at the Central Broward Regional Park (CBRP) on Thursday, said that the series is "98% on". The tentative plan, it is understood, is to hold two T20s on August 27 and 28, following the negotiations in Florida that involved BCCI general manager MV Shridar and WICB commercial manager Nelecia Yeates. Discussions are also believed to involve staging a return visit by both sides in 2017. For now, the 2% hold-up on finalising the August series is based on multiple factors, including the visa status of players. However, multiple sources have confirmed that the BCCI has already submitted names, photographs and documents for their intended T20 squad to the US Embassy in Jamaica, where the second Test is due to start on Saturday. Full article-http://www.espncricinfo.com/usa/content/story/1040385.html How i pray this series gets cancelled. Enough of t20s and forgod sake give ur test players a rest and let them be in test mode. whats the point of waking up short format specialist like bumrah, raina, dhoni and pit them against Wi who are playing CPL. Also many young players would be on Aus-A tour so i dnt expect them to rest the likes of kohli, ashwin, shami as its also a money making thing for BCCI. Visa Ke liye saara zor laga doge lekin apne player ko dhakke maar ke county nahin bhejoge Edited July 30, 2016 by Ankit_sharma03 Adi_91 1
