The West Indies men’s cricket team will spend July and August playing India at various venues across the region and in the US.

The series starts with two Test matches as part of the 2023-2025 ICC World Test Championship. 

The first Test will be held in Dominica from 12-16 July at Windsor Park. The second Test match is scheduled for 20-24 July at Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad and that game will mark the 100th Test match played between the two teams.

The Test Series is followed by three CG United One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and five T20 Internationals (T20Is). The ODI Series will start at Kensington Oval in Barbados on 27 July with the second match on 29 July. The ODI Series concludes on 1 August at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad which will be hosting a West Indies Men’s ODI for the first time.

The first T20 match will also take place at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy on 3 August. Guyana will host the second and third T20Is at the Guyana National Stadium on 6 and 8 August. 

The T20I Series concludes in Lauderhill, Florida with back-to-back matches on 12 August and 13 August at Broward County Cricket Stadium.

Chief executive officer at Cricket West Indies, Johnny Grave, said the summer of cricket was “highly anticipated” and particularly pointed out the historic 100th Test between the two teams which he said “promises to be a fantastic occasion.”

Grave added: “We also look forward to hosting India in the white ball fixtures and welcoming fans to attend the matches across the region, as well as in the United States. It will be 18 days of entertainment for cricket lovers to enjoy and savour.”
