West Indies to Begins India Tour with Kochi ODI

Mumbai: West Indies will start their tour of India from October 4 playing a five-match ODI series first of which will be played in Kochi followed by Vishakapatnam, Kolkata, Cuttack and Dharmashala.

The three-match Test series will be played after a one-off T20 match in Delhi and will start from Octboer 30. The venues of the Test matches are Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Ahemdabad.

West Indies visited India last year too in a hastily arranged two-Test series as a farewell to Sachin Tendulkar who retired after playing his 200th Test against the Caribbean team at his home ground, Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai in November.

The upcoming Windies visit is as per the previous Future Tours Programme of the International Cricket Council. Next year the new FTP, agreed upon by all full members of ICC at Melbourne last month, will kick in.

In 2015-16, it would be the turn of South Africa to visit India to play three Tests and ODIs to be followed by England who would split their tour into two halves - playing the five Tests before the Christmas break and then the ODIs on their return in the early part of 2016.
