Team India is all set to make its return to the field with the multi-format tour of the West Indies. The players have already landed in the Caribbean and kicked off their preparations following a brief break from the sport. They will play two Test matches, three ODI matches, and a five-match T20I series during the month-long tour.
The two-match Test series against West Indies marks the beginning of India’s campaign in the 2023-25 World Test Championship. They lost to Australia in the final of the previous cycle, earlier this year in London. Meanwhile, the ODI series will serve as a preparation for the team ahead of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, which will take place in India, later this year. Let’s take a look at all the details you need to know about India’s tour of the West Indies.
