After a disappointing loss in the World Test Championship (WTC) Final and ahead of the upcoming ODI World Cup and Asia Cup, India are set to go on a one-month tour of the West Indies.
The tour will see India and West Indies clash in two Tests (which will be a part of the next WTC cycle of 2023-25), five T20Is and three ODIs from July 12 to August 13.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India has announced the official Test and ODI squads for the upcoming tour of the West Indies.
