India host West Indies in five T20Is from Oct 6
India will host the West Indies for five T20 internationals starting October 6 in Lucknow, the BCCI has confirmed.
The series runs: October 6 in Lucknow, October 9 in Ranchi, October 11 in Indore, October 14 in Hyderabad and October 17 in Bengaluru. All matches start at 7 pm IST.
The T20 World Cup champions, led by Suryakumar Yadav, will use the series to test combinations ahead of a packed calendar. India then tour Sri Lanka from December 13 to 27.
The West Indies, two-time T20 world champions, remain dangerous in the format despite recent struggles in bilateral series.
Tickets for the matches are expected to sell out quickly, with the Bengaluru finale likely to draw a full house. The series will be broadcast live across the country.
The series is part of India’s build-up to the defence of their T20 World Cup title. Selectors are expected to rotate the squad across the five games to test bench strength ahead of a packed calendar.
