  • India will host the West Indies for two Tests, five ODIs and three Twenty20s in October-November, the BCCI said on Tuesday.

    The Test series will begin on October 4 in the western city of Rajkot followed by the second and final Test in Hyderabad from October 12 to 16. It means there will be a gap of barely one week between the final of the Asia Cup in the UAE at the end of the month and the first Test, should India reach the final.

    The five ODIs will be played in Guwahati (October 21), Indore (October 24), Pune (October 27), Mumbai (October 29) and Thiruvananthapuram (November 1).

    The cities of Kolkata (November 4), Lucknow (November 6) and Chennai (November 11) will host T20 matches.

    The West Indies had pulled out of their previous tour of India in 2014 because of a pay dispute with their board.

    The Dwayne Bravo-led side went back after playing four ODIs. They were scheduled to play one more one-dayer, a one-off T20 and three Tests on that tour.
