BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - THE West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has announced that the Warner Park Cricket Stadium in St. Kitts has been selected as the venue to host the West Indies A team series against Sri Lanka A team.
In a Wednesday (Apr. 24) release, the WICB indicated that the West Indies A Team will face Sri Lanka A when they tour the Caribbean in June this year. The tour will include two Tests (four-day matches), three 50 over encounters and two T20s.
The first Test will be played at Warner Park in St. Kitts while the second and final will be contested at the Arnos Vale Cricket Field in St. Vincent.
The two T20s will also be played at Arnos Vale before the three One Day matches conclude the tour in neighbouring Grenada.
The release added that this would be the first Windies A Team engagement for 2013. The West Indies A last played in 2012 when they faced India in three Tests, three One Dayers and two T20s.
West Indies A won the Test series 2-1. The One Day Series was drawn 1-1 and the T20s were evenly shared with West Indies A winning the first and India A winning the One Over liminator after the match was tied.
