India to tour West Indies in July

India has tentatively agreed to tour the West Indies from July to August for a three-match One-Day International (ODI) series and five-match Twenty20 International (T20) series.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India is expected to make a final decision in the coming days.

The ODI series, once confirmed, is likely to bowl off at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain from July 22. All three marches are expected to be held at the same venue.

Additionally, the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in South Trinidad is favored to host its first-ever T20 International match — the first of five T20s between India and the West Indies.

The other four T20s are expected to get underway in St. Kitts and Florida, both venues hosting two matches each.

The last time the Queen’s Park Oval and Trinidad by extension, hosted an ODI series was back in August 2019 against India.

India played two of the three-match ODI series at the historic venue and won both.

They eventually took the series 2-0 after the opening ODI in Guyana forced a no-result due to persistent rainfall.
