The action is set to begin on July 12, with Rohit Sharma leading the team in their series opener in Dominica.

Cricket West Indies Chief Executive, Johnny Grave, expressed his delight in confirming the schedule and venues for India’s visit. He particularly highlighted the significance of the 100th test at the Queen’s Park Oval, emphasizing the pride and excitement surrounding this historic event.

Following the test series, the teams will engage in three one-dayers and five T20 Internationals. Notably, the final two T20 matches will be held in Florida, adding an extra element of interest to the series.

As the anticipation builds, cricket fans eagerly await this clash between two proud cricketing nations. The tour promises to provide thrilling moments and create cherished memories for players and supporters alike.
