The last time India toured the West Indies was in June 2011 for a three-Test series, which India won 1-0.
Form July 6India will tour the West Indies for seven weeks, for four Tests and two practice matches. The Tests will be played in Antigua and Barbuda, Jamaica, St Lucia and Trinidad and Tobago. In May the BCCI sent its general manager MV Sridhar to do a recce of the venues. Head of operations at the West Indies Cricket Board, Roland Holder, said all four venues were "ready to host the visiting Indian team.
The tour will start with a two-day practice match from July 9 in St Kitts followed by a three-day warm-up match from July 14 at the same venue. The first Test will begin on July 21, the second on July 30, the third on August 9 and the last one on August 18.
The Indian team is anticipated to leave for the Caribbean with a new coaching staff, applications for which were advertised by the BCCI on Wednesday. The deadline for receiving the applications is June 10. It will be followed by a screening process by the BCCI, which will then submit a list of names to the soon-to-be-formed cricket advisory committee comprising reputed former players.
Best of Luck Both Team…
