INDIAN CRICKET is likely to make its first official foray into American soil, with MS Dhoni & Co set to play a short T20 series against the West Indies in Florida in late August. The Indian Test team is presently involved in a four-Test series in the Caribbean, which concludes on August 22 at Port-of-Spain in Trinidad. It’s learnt the Indian board was keen on playing a few T20s against the world champions at the Central Broward Regional Park at Lauderhill in Florida, which is presently hosting six Caribbean Premier League (CPL) matches. Sources, however, indicated it’s not clear whether it will end up being a bilateral series, with a T20 tri-series involving Bangladesh being the other alternative.
Indian Express tried to contact BCCI president Anurag Thakur but he was unavailable for comment. But other sources have confirmed that talks are very much on to make this series happen and a meeting will take place in Lauderhill late on Tuesday night to decide the final schedule.

Cameron doesn't care, he'll be sitting in an air-conditioned box enjoying the fruits of his labor.

In my view, it is very wise for West Indies to try and tap into the North American market. First of all, the Caribbean is close to North America. Also, North Americans usually spend a lot of money on sporting events. They will now have the opportunity to attend international cricket games.

are you saying they should recreate the scenes of unbridled joy from the Sir Viv Stadium?
That the American public should be so lucky

THey should be exposed to the one true form of cricket!
Days of excitement watching Ashwin bowling over after over to the flamboyant K Braffit.
