XtraTime Web Desk: Cricket Australia (CA) on Tuesday has stated that they are putting the three-match T20I series against West Indies on hold which was scheduled to be played in the month of October.

The three matches were scheduled to be held in Townsville, Cairns and the Gold Coast on October 4, 6 and 9 respectively.

“Cricket Australia and the West Indies Cricket Board have agreed to postpone the Twenty20 series against the West Indies originally scheduled for Queensland in October,” Cricket Australia said in a statement.

“In light of this development, and given the preference to host the warm-up three-match T20 series against the West Indies to coincide with the rescheduled T20 World Cup in Australia (which will take place in either 2021 or 2022), it has been agreed to postpone the matches,” the release added.

Top players from both the countries will now take part in the rescheduled 13th IPL, which will be held in the UAE from September 19 to November 10.
