West Indies will host India for the three-match ODI series at the Queen’s Park Oval. The first ODI will take place on Friday while the second and third match will be played on Sunday and Wednesday respectively. The limited-overs series will later shift to the five-match T20I series.
India will be visiting the Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain in Trinidad for the first-time since 2019. Veteran India opener Shikhar Dhawan will be leading his troops in the ODI series after what has turned out to be a comical musical chair in change of captaincy. It will be a depleted Indian side with the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant rested for the ODI series. However, the West Indies will bank on a full-fledged team which will have the likes of all-rounder Jason Holder in their ranks.

Here’s @ShubmanGill giving a lowdown on #TeamIndia’s first net session in Trinidad,” said BCCI as it posted a video of the indoor training session.
The pitch at the Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad will be even for batters and bowlers with the team which puts its best foot forward set to reap benefits of the surface.
