KARACHI: The Windies Women will play three Twenty20 Internationals in Pakistan, starting from 31 January, in a move that Johnny Grave, the Cricket West Indies chief executive, said was a “major step” in helping the Pakistan Cricket Board “bring cricket back home”. After the three T20Is, the teams will travel to the United Arab Emirates for a three-match ICC Women’s Championship one-day international series, reported ICC. Last year, Pakistan had hosted the Windies men’s team in a similar three-match T20I series in Karachi, and the smooth proceedings in that series played a part in convincing the CWI to sanction the women’s tour, said Grave. “This tour is a further major step for our friends at the PCB to bring their cricket back home,” said Grave. Taylor will resume as captain when she joins the side in Dubai in time for the ICC Women’s Championship ODIs, starting from 7 February.
