The three-match T20I series between West Indies and South Africa was scheduled to get the T20 World Cup-bound players in both teams the much-needed match practice before the mega T20 carnival. However, the clash of the bilateral contest with the ongoing 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has taken the sheen away from it.
Numerous T20 World Cup-bound players from both teams are playing for their respective franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and therefore have not been picked to participate in the three-match series.
But there is still plenty to look forward to in the series as it provides several players in both outfits to make a case for themselves and impress the selectors to sneak into the squad for the marquee tournament before May 25. As per the guidelines, teams are allowed to make changes to their respective squads till May 25 after which they'll have to seek the approval of ICC's technical committee.
The first match of the series will be contested at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica on May 24, 12:30 AM (IST) and the remaining two games will also be organised at the same venue.
