The exclusion of Dominica is a blow to cricket fans on the island that comes on the heels of the government&#8217;s decision not to host any matches of the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup 2024 due to the country\u2019s inability to meet implementation timelines.<\/p>\n<p>The ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup 2024 is to be held in the West Indies and the United States in June 2024 and Dominica was shortlisted as a potential host for one group stage match and two games in the Super 8 stage of the tournament.<br \/>\nThe shortlist created much excitement on the island and efforts were made to upgrade and enhance the Windsor Park Sports Stadium and Benjamin\u2019s Park in Portsmouth, including the creation of additional pitches. However, the contractors\u2019 timelines indicated that the work would not be completed before the tournament\u2019s commencement.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, the Government of Dominica decided it would not be prudent to commit to hosting these games&#8211;to the disappointment of many.<\/p>\n<p>According to CWI, the upcoming home tours begin with a visit from South Africa, for three (3) T20 Internationals (T20Is) at Sabina Park, before the start of ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Proteas then return to the region, after the West Indies Test Tour to England in July, with a two (2) Test Match Series to be played in Trinidad and Guyana, followed by a second three (3) match T20I Series at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad, ahead of the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL),&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Following a white-ball tour away to Sri Lanka in October, the West Indies will welcome England to the Caribbean for a white-ball tour consisting of three (3) CG United One Day Internationals (ODIs) and five (5) T20Is. The series will be played across Antigua, Barbados, and Saint Lucia&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The home tours will end when the Windies face Bangladesh in an all-format tour before Christmas with two (2) Test Matches in Antigua and Jamaica, three (3) CG United ODIs in St. Kitts, and three (3) T20Is in St. Vincent.<\/p>\n<p>Grave called on cricket fans to rally around the West Indies in the upcoming matches.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We urge fans to rally behind our Men in Maroon as we strive for a historic third T20 World Cup title and seek to secure all important points in the ICC World Test Championship,&#8221; he stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced what it described as an &#8220;action-packed&#8221; schedule of cricket from May to December 2024 in the Caribbean but Dominica is not on the list for hosting any of the matches.
