Trinidad & Tobago set to tour Colombia for historic 5-match T20 series this august

In a historic first for cricket in South America, Trinidad & Tobago will tour Colombia in August for a 5-match T20 series. While Colombia is not yet a member of the International Cricket Council (ICC), cricketing ambitions have been clear for Colombia, particularly this year with the ICC member nation Mexico coming to Colombia to provide competition in a bilateral series. Now Colombia will play a regional cognate from the Caribbean, Trinidad & Tobago, one of the major territories within West Indies cricket.

This tour is a major step forward for both nations. For Colombia, it is a very rare opportunity to test themselves against a team from one of the most historically significant regions of cricket in the world. Cricket Colombia has been developing for a number of years based on grassroots engagement and regional exposure, and this tour represents a larger argument for their growing credibility in world cricket.

For Trinidad & Tobago, the tour represents a broader strategy by Cricket West Indies to invest in cricket development outside of the normal boundaries. Engaging with emerging cricket nations like Colombia, broadcasts cricket to Latin America, and furthers relationships in the region.
