The Monday May 24 General Elections are threatening to disrupt the two One-day International (ODIs) matches and two Twenty20 matches between the West Indies and South Africa which are carded for the Queen’s Park Oval. The ODIs fall on either side of the election day - Sunday May 23 and Tuesday May 25, and sources say it will be difficult to put things in place to facilitate these two matches, since security will be a major challenge during this period. The Twenty20 games which are carded for May 19 and 20, have a greater chance of being staged, according to officials. Chairman of the international matches committee and executive member of the T&T Cricket Board (TTCB), Patrick Rampersad told the Guardian yesterday that a firm decision on the staging of the matches will be made in the next few days.
