Cricket in America: It's confirmed! India to play two T20Is against West Indies in US

New Delhi: Ending all speculations, the Board of Cricket for Control in India (BCCI) on Tuesday confirmed the dates for the T20Is to be played between India and West Indies.

Both the matches will be played at the Central Broward Regional Park at Lauderhill in Florida, which is presently hosting six Caribbean Premier League (CPL) matches.

BCCI took to Twitter to confirm the dates for the two matches.

Reportedly, the series is said to be a compensation for the losses suffered by the BCCI after West Indies pulled out of a series midway in 2014. The Indian board is likely to take away a major chunk of the revenue earned from this short series.

India are currently in the Caribbean islands playing a four-match Test series under Virat Kohli's captaincy.
