Cricket West Indies (CWI) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Johnny Grave says it is unlikely the Caribbean would be able to host England for a three test series in June. Cricinfo reported on Wednesday that both Cricket West Indies and the England and Wales Cricket Board have had several meetings to try to find a solution for their upcoming series, which is set to take place in the UK starting June 4.
However in a story from BBC Sports on Thursday morning, Grave was quoted as saying: “I have not had any discussions with England over whether we can host. It would be strange that England can't have cricket but the Caribbean can."
Grave who labelled the proposal unrealistic, did however suggest that the West Indies are being as "flexible as possible" to get the series played. The options under consideration reportedly include the possibility of rescheduling the series to September.
The West Indies also have obligations later in the year as they are Scheduled to host New Zealand in three ODIs and three T20s between July 8 and 19 before South Africa arrive for two tests and five T20s between July 23 and August 16.
