Both India and West Indies will start their respective 2023-2025 World Test Championship campaigns with a two-Test series in the Caribbean between July 12 and July 24.
The Indian team has already landed in the West Indies and preparations have begun. The last time India toured the West Indies for a Test series was in 2019 when they won 2-0. They would look to repeat the same this time around as well.

West Indies, on the other hand, last won a Test match against India more than 20 years back, in Jamaica in 2002. Since then, the teams have faced each other 23 times in Test cricket: India have won 14, while nine have been drawn.
