The proliferating Twenty20 leagues seems to be having an impact on bilateral tours and could lead to the postponement of West Indies' three-match T20 tour of Pakistan early next year. The tour is likely to be held in 2024.

With several T20 leagues like the ILT20 in the UAE, the SA20 in South Africa, the BBL in Australia and the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) taking place in January-February 2023, the two boards are not sure West Indies players will be available for national duty, according to a report in the ESPNCricinfo.com.
