Grave hints at hectic schedule for Windies

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados – Cricket West Indies chief executive, Johnny Grave, has described a “best-case scenario” for the Test tour of England which would see the regional side playing in July instead of June, having a single warm-up match before the start of the series and playing back-to-back Tests.

The June 4-25 three-Test series is currently in doubt following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, which has halted all international cricket and caused severe disruption across the global sporting calendar.

Only recently, the England and Wales Cricket Board pushed the start of its domestic and international itinerary back to the end of May, further complicating the staging of the series against West Indies.

Grave acknowledged there would need to be major adjustments if the series was to go ahead as planned.
