CWI on Friday released a packed home calendar for this summer with visits from South Africa, Australia, and Pakistan.
"In consultation with the CWI and keeping an eye on this year's ICC men's T20 World Cup, we have agreed to replace one Test match with two additional T20Is. This is aimed at providing further T20 content for both teams, as we continue to prepare and build-up to the global ICC event," Khan said on Friday.
On their last tour to the Caribbean in 2017, Pakistan had won their maiden Test series 2-1. The series had provided a perfect farewell to Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis Khan, who played 276 and 408 international matches, respectively.
