The highly-anticipated West Indies versus India Men’s Series will take place in July and August, and Cricket West Indies (CWI) has released the match schedule and venues.
As part of the International Cricket Council (ICC) World Test Championship 2023-2025, the series begins with two Test matches. The first Test match will be played at Windsor Park in Dominica from July 12 to July 16. The second Test, which will take place at Trinidad’s Queen’s Park Oval from July 20 to July 24, will be significant, since it will be the 100th Test match between the two countries.
Three CG United One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and five T20 Internationals (T20Is) follow the Test Series. The first and second games of the CG United ODI Series will be played on July 27 and July 29, respectively, at Kensington Oval in Barbados. The West Indies Men’s ODIs will be played at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad on August 1 as the CG United ODI Series comes to an end.
The T20Is also bowl off at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy on August 3. Guyana hosts the second and third T20Is at the Guyana National Stadium on August 6 and 8. The T20I Series concludes in Lauderhill, Florida with a blockbuster weekend of back-to-back matches on Saturday, August 12 and Sunday, August 13 at Broward County Cricket Stadium.
CWI Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Johnny Grave said: “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.”
Grave added: “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.”
