A major storm has wreaked havoc in Houston, Texas, damaging the temporary infrastructure at the Prairie View Cricket Complex as this venue was set to host a three-match T20I series between Bangladesh and the USA, starting on May 21.
The Bangladesh cricket team arrived in Houston on Friday in preparation for the series, scheduled for May 21, 23, and 25.
However, the severe storm that hit Houston on Thursday has put the start of the series in jeopardy, according to ESPNCricinfo’s USA correspondent, Peter Della Penna.
“The start of the USA v Bangladesh T20I series scheduled for May 21 is currently in doubt after a major storm system ripped through the Houston area on Thursday. The majority of the temporary infrastructure recently installed at Prairie View Cricket Complex has been destroyed,” Penna wrote on X.
Following the series against the USA, Bangladesh is scheduled to play an ICC warm-up match against the USA on May 28 and a second warm-up game against India on June 1.
Bangladesh’s T20 World Cup campaign will then commence against Sri Lanka on June 8 in Dallas.
