West Indies scheduled tour of Sri Lanka in November will be reviewed by the
West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) after the recent terrorist attacks in the
US.
According to WICB Chief Executive Greg Shillingford "all future tours" will
be re-considered when the board directors meet on September 28 and 29.
The West Indies were also scheduled to tour Pakistan early next year. That
tour is looking increasingly unlikely with the military build-up in the
region.
The Sri Lankan tour, however, is expected to go-ahead as planned, as there
has been no noticeable increase in tension after attacks in the US.
Shillingford added that there has been "great consultation" with the Sri
Lankan and Pakistan cricket boards but it was too early to make definitive
statements.
West Indies are scheduled to play three Tests and a triangular tournament
during November and December in Sri Lanka.
