India to tour West Indies right after Champions Trophy. 5 odi's and 1 t20

[Ankit_sharma03]

India will tour the West Indies for five ODIs and one T20 international in June and July, with the trip beginning almost immediately after the Champions Trophy final in England.

The Champions Trophy final is scheduled for June 18 and the first ODI between India and West Indies is on June 23 in Trinidad. The second ODI is at Queen's Park Oval as well, before the teams move to Antigua for the next two matches.

The last ODI and the T20I will be played at Sabina Park on July 6 and 9.

Unlike India, West Indies are not part of the Champions Trophy and will be hosting Afghanistan while the top eight ranked ODI nations compete in the ICC tournament in England.

This tour.......is the one when we have to start blooding in a lot of youngster for LOI squads.  Seniors wud rest after CT , hope we dont send tried and tested failures. 2019 WC has to be kept in mind from this tour . 

 

Also a chance to groom a vice captain, since in most likely hood Kohli might not go.
