Last year, some West Indies stadiums were damaged by the storms of Irma and Mariah. These stadiums require lots of money for the renovation work. That's why this T-20 match has been organized. The money generated from this match will be spent on the repair of the damaged stadium in the West Indies.
West Indies have already announced their squad for this match. Carlos Brathwaite will be the captain of the Caribbean team in the match. All-rounder Andre Russell has returned to the squad.
