The Indian cricket team will get a break for almost a month following their loss to Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) Final on Sunday before embarking on a month-long tour of the West Indies for Tests, ODIs and T20I matches. The Cricket West Indies (CWI) on Monday officially announced the schedule for India’s tour of the Caribbean, set to happen from July 12 to August 13, comprising two Tests, three ODIs and five T20Is.

India last toured West Indies for an all-format tour in 2019, winning the series in all formats. They also made a white-ball-only trip last year, emerging victorious in both those series as well.

India’s tour of the West Indies starts with two Tests, which will kickstart the 2023-2025 ICC World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. Windsor Park in Dominica will host the first Test from July 12-16, followed by the second Test to be played from July 20-24 at Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad. The second Test will also mark the 100th Test match played between India and West Indies.

“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.
