Cricket West Indies (CWI) announced on Monday the schedule for India’s Caribbean visit, which will take place from July 12 to August 13, and will include two Tests, three ODIs, and five T20Is.
India last toured the West Indies in 2019, winning the series in all forms. They also went on a white-ball-only trip last year, winning both series.
India’s West Indies tour begins with two Tests, which will kick off the 2023-2025 ICC World Test Championship cycle. The first Test will be held at Windsor Park in Dominica from July 12-16, followed by the second Test at Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad from July 20-24. The second Test will also be India and Pakistan’s 100th Test match.
“We are delighted to be able to confirm the schedule and venues for the highly anticipated visit by India. One of the highlights will be the 100th Test at the Queen’s Park Oval and this promises to be a fantastic occasion as we celebrate this historic event between these two proud cricketing nations,” said Johnny Grave, CEO of CWI.
The Test Series is followed by a three-match One-Day International Series, with the first two games taking place on July 27 and 29 at Kensington Oval in Barbados. The third One-Day International (ODI) will be played on August 1 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad, and will be the first ODI played at the venue.
The T20I series will begin on August 3 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, followed by the second and third T20Is on August 6 and 8 at the Guyana National Stadium. The series will conclude on August 12 and 13 at Lauderhill, Florida, USA, with the fourth and fifth Twenty20 Internationals hosted by Broward County Cricket Stadium.
“We also look forward to hosting India in the white-ball fixtures and welcoming fans to attend the matches across the region, as well as in the United States. It will be 18 days of entertainment for cricket lovers to enjoy and savour,” concluded Grave.
