India to tour West Indies in July for a four match Test series

INDIA IS SET TO TOUR WEST INDIES this July for a series of four Test matches, ending a two-year bilateral hiatus between the two sides.The dates and venues for the series are yet to be finalised.

As reported by PTI, West Indies Cricket Board president Dave Cameron said,

"The official word is that the tour is on. We are just awaiting confirmation of the venues now. And once we have done that, we will send out a release with the dates, the venues and everything."

The likely dates would mean the series could clash with the Caribbean Premier League (CPL).

"Yes, it will (clash with the CPL). The unfortunate thing is that the international calendar is packed. And the only window for this tour to come off is during that time. So, there will be a clash, but we are working with CPL to ensure there is no clash of venues so times of the matches won't be hampered," Cameron said.

The last time India toured the Caribbean in 2011 for Test matches they won the three-match Test series 1-0 with a win at Jamaica.
