ST JOHN’S, Antigua (CMC):

Cricket West Indies (CWI) has officially confirmed that Barbados will host two One-Day Internationals (ODIs) when New Zealand tour the Caribbean later this year.

In a statement issued yesterday, CWI revealed that while Guyana had been originally scheduled to host all five ODIs at the National Stadium from July 11 to July 21, logistical challenges resulted in an agreement being reached with Barbados to have the final two matches relocated to Kensington Oval.
