KINGSTON
\nCricket West Indies announced an action-packed summer of cricket at home.
\nThe Windies are set to play two Tests, nine ODIs and 11 T20Is at home between June and August where they will host Bangladesh, India and New Zealand in the Caribbean Islands as well as the United States of America.
\nBangladesh will be the first team to arrive on the Caribbean shores, where they will play two Tests, three T20Is and as many ODIs. The tour will begin with two Tests in Antigua and St Lucia before the white-ball action starts in Dominica and Guyana.
\nThe two Tests against Bangladesh will be a part of the current ICC World Test Championship cycle, where West Indies are placed seventh with a point percentage of 35.71. The Tigers are a spot below with 16.67%.
\nSix days after the conclusion of the Bangladesh series on 16 July, India\u2019s white-ball tour will commence, starting with three ODIs from 22 to 27 July at the Queen\u2019s Park Oval in Trinidad and Tobago. The first T20I will be played in Trinidad, followed by two in St Kitts and the remaining two in Broward County Cricket Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida.
\nThe scintillating summer of cricket will conclude with three T20Is and three ODIs against New Zealand between 10 to 21 August. The Black Caps were originally set to visit the Caribbean in 2020 but the tour had to be rescheduled due to COVID-19.
\nThe ODIs against Bangladesh, India and West Indies will be a part of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League, which will help determine the seven spots (India gain direct entry as hosts) for the ICC Men\u2019s Cricket World Cup next year.
\nWest Indies are currently 10th in the CWCSL standings with 60 points in 16 games. The remaining two games in the ongoing series against the Netherlands, as well as the nine ODIs in the summer, give them an opportunity to rise up the table and secure automatic qualification for the World Cup under the new leadership of Nicholas Pooran.
\n\u201cWe are delighted to announce the match schedule for the men\u2019s international calendar at home for the rest of the year,\u201d said Johnny Grave, CEO of CWI. \u201cWe know our supporters will be delighted with the news that the matches are being played all across the region as well as those living in the USA will be able to see their favourite players in action.\u201d
