(UDHAYAM, COLOMBO) – Five One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and a Twenty20 (T20) fixture set to be played in a whirlwind tour of the Caribbean.
Just two-days after the Champions Trophy concludes next month, the West Indies will host an India limited-overs tour, the West Indies Cricket Board announced on Tuesday (17).
The tour consists of five One-Day Internationals and a lone Twenty20 to be played at three venues in the Caribbean.
The West Indies failed to qualify for the Champions Trophy in England, but India will be there to defend their title. The final is on June 18. The tour begins two-days later.
The ODI matches will be played at Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad and Tobago, Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua and Sabina Park in Jamaica. The only T20 is scheduled for July 9 at Sabina Park.
“The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) have confirmed India’s tour to the West Indies starting June 23, 2017,” the BCCI said in a statement.
India last toured the Caribbean islands in 2016 for a four-match Test series that was won by Virat Kohli’s side 2-0.
India’s Cricket Board dropped a $42 million damages claim against the West Indies over an abandoned tour in 2014.
