In September, Hurricane Irma and Mariah's injuries caused major damage to West Indies's Dominica and Anguilla cricket venues. The West Indies and the World XI will play a Twenty-20 match on May 31 in London for the purpose of fund raising for the restoration of the venues. It will be considered as an international match. Sky Sports channel will broadcast this match directly.
England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chairman Colin Graves said, "Hurricane injuries caused significant damage to the two venues of the West Indies. We want to raise funds for those two venues and for some people of East Caribbean. That's why we decided to negotiate with the West Indies Board. "
