WTC 2023-25 | India to begin next cycle with two Tests in West Indies

After finishing the World Test Championship cycle 2021-23 as runner up, India would start their campaign in the next cycle with two Test against West Indies. The Indian team will tour West Indies next month and the first two red-ball games of the series are to be held in Dominica and Trinidad. The two-match Test series will be followed by three ODIs and five T20Is while the tour will conclude on August 13. The last two T20Is will be hosted in Florida, USA while the first two ODIs will be played in Barbados.  Guyana will stage the second and third T20I. 

West Indies’ home series will start in a span of just three days after the end of their ODI World Cup Qualifier campaign. Thus, the Test players might be pulled out of the final leg of the World Cup qualifier to prepare for the Test series against India. On the other hand, India have a one month break after the recently concluded WTC final and they would like to bounce back from the disappointment of suffering a defeat in the final.
