Cricket West Indies (CWI) said on Friday that the three-match Test series between the West Indies and England in June has been postponed due the novel coronavirus outbreak.
The decision to postpone the tour came as the result over the uncertainty surrounding the safe resumption of the sport in Britain as well as international air travel.
“We continue to be in regular dialogue with the ECB on when and how we might be able to rearrange the test series,” said Cricket West Indies chief executive Johnny Grave in a statement.
The West Indies had been scheduled to play June 4-8 at The Oval, June 12-16 at Edgbaston, June 25-29 at Lord’s.
“Clearly playing in June is now not possible and we will continue our discussions with the ECB and other Internationals Boards on trying to find new date
“We will only travel to England to play the series if our players can be assured that it is safe to do so.”
The CWI the proposed window for the staging of this series is now July until the end of September
