"It's a good news that West Indies have confirmed three Twenty20 internationals to be played in Karachi on April 1, 2 and 4," Sethi told media in Dubai on the sidelines of the ongoing third edition of the PSL. West Indies are the reigning World Twenty20 champions after winning the title in India in 2016. Earlier, Lahore was announced as the venue of the West Indies matches but the PCB was encouraged to host the matches outside Lahore after Karachi was declared safe by international security experts last month. Karachi will also host the PSL final on March 25, while Lahore will host two play-off games on March 20 and 21.West Indies will travel to Karachi for a series of three T20Is v Pakistan in early April https://t.co/506DovSsl6

"That is how we intend to put Karachi back on cricket map once again. PSL final and now three more games for Karachi as per routine. Karachi people should welcome this," said Sethi of Karachi, where the last international was a Test match against Sri Lanka in February 2009. Sethi also announced he was in talks with West Indies Cricket for a Twenty20 tri-series in United States. "While West Indies tour to Pakistan is a one-off series, we are also in consultation with the WIC on a tri-series, also involving Bangladesh in first year, for a period of five years," said Sethi.Update on West Indies tour of Pakistan#PAKvWI https://t.co/tYaIBhH1Vx
