ST JOHN’S, Antigua (CMC):

THE WEST Indies senior men’s team will embark on high-profile overseas tours to complete a busy year of international cricket for 2025 following bumper home series against Australia and Pakistan.

A historic three-match T20 bilateral series against Nepal in Sharjah at the end of September will kick off the 22 international matches scheduled for the rest of the year across all formats.

The Windies will commence their second fixture of the 2025-2027 ICC World Test Championship cycle, taking on India in Ahmedabad (October 2-6) and Delhi (October 10-14). This is the team’s first Test tour to India since 2018.

A white-ball tour against Bangladesh follows shortly after, featuring three One-Day Internationals and three T20 Internationals from October 18 to November 1.

The regional team closes out the year with an all-format tour of New Zealand from November 5 to December 22, comprising five T20 Internationals, three One-Day Internationals and three Test matches.
