ICC World Test Championship | India to kick start campaign from August 22 in Antigua

India will tour the West Indies and the USA for a series which will follow the World Cup. The tour will start with two back to back T20Is in Florida on August 3 and 4, followed by the final T20I in Guyana on August 6.

The T20I series will be followed by a three-match ODI series, where the first match will again be played in Guyana on August 8. The teams will travel to Trinidad for the next two games on August 11 and August 14 respectively.

However, India kickstarting their World Test Championship campaign will be the highlight of the tour. Virat Kohli and co. will take on the hosts between August 22 and 26, nearly a week after the limited-overs series at Antigua's Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. The final Test will be played at Sabina Park in Jamaica between August 30 and September 3, post which India will host South Africa.

The CWI (Cricket West Indies) Chief Executive Officer Johnny Gravem expressed his delight over the island nations' hosting the series.

"The West Indies and India have a long and colourful rivalry, and the MyTeam11 Series will bring more thrilling competition across every format of the game," he said, reported Cricbuzz.

"We'll be seeing some of the World's best players go head to head in T20Is, ODIs and then in the new World Test Championship. West Indies fans, young and old, will have the opportunity to see some incredible cricket,” Gravem added.
