Last year, Pakistan celebrated the return of international cricket on home soil. However, since then, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has been gunning to host more international series in Pakistan.
West Indies, one of three teams alongside Ireland and Zimbabwe, showed interest in visiting Pakistan following an open invitation.
After being postponed twice, West Indies series has once again been confirmed by the chairman PCB, Najam Sethi.
