Cricket: WEST INDIES HOST SOUTH AFRICA AND PAKISTAN

ST. JOHN'S, Antigua - The West Indies will be hosts to South Africa and Pakistan in the 2005 Home series which starts next March.

West Indies will play four Tests and five One-Day Internationals against South Africa and two Tests and three One-Day Internationals against Pakistan.

The International season begins with the arrival of South Africa on March 25 for a nearly two-month long tour, which ends on May 16.

There will be no matches played in Grenada in 2005 due to the destruction of facilities caused by Hurricane Ivan last month.
