About India vs West Indies 2026
The West Indies Tour of India 2026 is an eight-match white-ball assignment featuring three ODIs and five T20Is.
The tour begins on September 27 with the first ODI in Thiruvananthapuram and concludes on October 17 with the fifth T20I in Bengaluru.
The ODI series has particular significance for both teams.

The T20Is have a different long-term objective. West Indies are already looking ahead to the next T20 World Cup cycle, while India will use the series to develop their T20 combination under Shreyas Iyer.
