After a notable amount of persistent cricketing action, the Indian players are currently enjoying a brief off-season. India faced an embarrassing defeat in the recently-concluded World Test Championship 2023 final – their most recent assignment. Pat Cummins-led Australia handed over a gigantic 209-run defeat to the Indian team at London’s Kennington Oval cricket ground in the all-important fixture.
After the full-fledged break, team India will travel to West Indies for a much-anticipated Test and One-day International series. The India-Windies two-match Test series will officially commence on July 12, while the ODI series is scheduled to kick off on July 27. India’s lineup for the enthralling tour is expected to be announced by the last week of June. Fans expect some substantial changes in the Indian squad, following what transpired in the WTC final 2023.
