Windies skipper sidesteps Pakistan tour for security reasons

St John's - West Indies women's captain Stafanie Taylor will miss her team's three-match T20 international series in Pakistan which starts later this month over security concerns, Cricket West Indies (CWI) announced on Thursday.

The 2016 World Twenty20 champions are set to play games in Karachi on January 31, February 1 and February 3.

But all-rounder Taylor, one of the biggest stars in the women's game, will only join the squad for the following one-day international series in the United Arab Emirates.
