West Indies summer match schedule features 30 days of cricket up to August 21
Cricket West Indies (CWI) today confirmed the full match schedule for the West Indies Senior Men’s team from June 16 to August 21.
The West Indies are set for a busy summer of cricket with visits from Bangladesh, India and New Zealand featuring all three formats of cricket.
The list of fixtures features 30 days of men’s international cricket comprising two Tests, nine CG United One-Day Internationals and 11 T20 Internationals at 10 world-class venues.
The West Indies and India are also set to return to Florida to play two T20Is against India.
Bangladesh will tour the Caribbean from June 16 to July 16 and will face West Indies in two Test matches in Antigua and St Lucia as part of the ICC World Test Championship.
The two Tests will be followed by three T20Is and three CG United ODIs in Dominica and Guyana.
The first two T20Is will see a return to international cricket at Dominica’s fully refurbished Windsor Park, where international cricket is being hosted for the first time since the hurricane damage of 2017.
The Bangladesh home series will conclude with the third T20I and then three CG United ODIs at the Guyana National Stadium.
India’s white-ball tour will commence on July 22 in Trinidad and Tobago with three CG United ODIs from July 22 to 27 at Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, followed by five T20Is in three separate venues.
The first T20I on Friday, July 29 will be historic as the first ever Men’s T20I to be played at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in the south of Trinidad. The venue for the back-to-back second and third T20I matches is Warner Park, St Kitts.
The eight-match India white ball tour concludes with an exciting weekend of back-to-back T20I fixtures at the Broward County Cricket Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida from August 6 and 7.
West Indies’ summer of cricket climaxes with New Zealand’s white-ball tour of the Caribbean, which has been rescheduled from 2020 following the COVID-19 pandemic.
The teams will play three T20Is from Wednesday, August 10 to Sunday, August 14 before moving to Barbados for three day/night CG United ODIs.
All nine CG United ODIs are part of the ICC ODI Super League with the West Indies aiming to qualify directly for the ICC World Cup in 2023.
