“The Government of Guyana has bid for India. And so we are going to have India coming to Guyana, certainly T20 and 50-overs. The amount we…is not confirmed as yet, and the date; but I can give my mouth some liberty that we are going to have India tour in Guyana,” Singh said.
According to a report written a week ago, it has been learned that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has agreed to make changes to the schedule by increasing the number of T20Is.
According to Cricbuzz, India will be playing a total of 10 games, with 2 more T20Is getting added to the schedule which initially had 8 matches. The additional games were finalised on the sidelines of the recently-held ICC meetings in Dubai. However, none of the boards has given official confirmation.

India’s tour of the West Indies is likely to commence in the second week of July, while the fixture is expected to be finalised in the coming days. After the conclusion of this 10-match tour, the team will travel to Ireland to play three T20Is in the third week of August, as announced by Cricket Ireland.
India toured the West Indies and the United States of America in 2022, during the July period, and played three One Day Internationals and five T20 Internationals. India won the ODI series 3-0 and won the T20I series 4-1. These matches were played in Trinidad and Tobago, St Kitts and Nevis, and in Florida. (Input from News.18 and Cricbuzz)
