Last two T20Is set to go ahead in Florida after both teams get USA visas

Leg Florida from the T20I series between India and Western Indies for the fourth and fifth matches will continue to be planned this weekend after the US visa stamping for both teams on Wednesday.

There was a delay in the visa process for both teams and needed President Guyana Irfaan Ali’s intervention to ensure the documents were completed after members of the two teams flew to Georgetown via the Charter flight after the third T20I settlement at St Kitts at St. Sunday. Previous teams were expected to receive their US travel documents in Trinidad or St Kitts, places of the first three T20i of this series.

While Cricket West Indies (CWI) has been convinced that this problem is resolved in time, they have prepared an emergency plan to hold the final leg of the series in the Caribbean, most of the port-of-Spain.

While those who have a USA visa that are needed to fly from St Kitts, the rest of the tour party will fly to Miami through a charter from Georgetown on Thursday. Among them were Indian head coach Rahul Dravid and Captain Rohit Sharma.

The T20i foot has been hit by a series of logistics obstacles. The second T20i on St Kitts was postponed three hours after the final arrival of the team from Trinidad, who hosted the series. As a result, the third T20i the next day was also delayed, with time begins to be pushed again by 1.5 hours to give players enough recovery time.

India currently leads the five match series 2-1, with the next two matches scheduled to return back on Saturday and Sunday. They will sweat because of Rohit’s fitness after he retired in the third T20i because of the back spasms.

Taman Broward Pusat, in Lauderhill, Florida, is a regular pitstop on an Indian tour to the Caribbean with a match staged at venue on every tour since 2016.
