BCCI secretary Jay Shah told Cricbuzz that India have agreed to play two extra T20Is against England so that the ECB can recover the losses incurred from the cancellation of the Old Trafford Test, with the condition that there should not be a demand for the forfeiture.
"It is correct that we have offered to play two extra T20Is when we visit England next July (only for the white-ball games). Instead of three T20Is, we will play five T20Is. Alternately, we will be willing to play one-off Test as well. It is up to them to choose either of the offers," Shah told Cricbuzz on Monday (September 13).
