India, who made a semi-final finish in the 2019 International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup, will play their first set of fixtures since the mega event when they lock horns with West Indies in the two-match Test series, three ODIs and as many Twenty20Is, beginning August 3 in Florida. 

While Indian skipper Virat Kohli will continue to lead all three sides, Rohit Sharma will serve as his deputy in the ODIs and T20Is. Ajinkya Rahane has been appointed as vice-captain for the two Tests. 

For West Indies, Jason Holder will lead the side in the 50-over format, while Carlos Braithwait has been named as the captain of their T20I side.

India, who slumped to a narrow 18-run defeat at the hands of runner-ups New Zealand in the first semi-final of the World Cup 2019, will look to shrug off the loss and get back to winning ways heading into the West Indies series.

The Caribbean side, on the other hand, ended their campaign at the ninth spot in the group stage of the World Cup 2019 after winning just two out of nine matches. 

India had last taken on West Indies in the league stage of this year's cricket showpiece event, easing to a 125-run win. The last bilateral series between the two teams had seen hosts India cruise to wins in both Tests and then seal a series win in the five ODIs as well as in the two T20Is.
