Thiruvananthapuram: The West Indies tour of India 2026 is officially set to commence on 27 September 2026, marking the beginning of an intense eight-match white-ball series. The tour includes three One Day Internationals (ODIs) followed by a high-octane five-match T20 International series.

The ODI Leg: Setting the Tone

The tour begins with the 50-over format, providing a steady and strategic start to the campaign. The opening ODI is slated for 27 September at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. Following this southern clash, the caravan moves to the ACA Stadium in Guwahati for the second match on 30 September. The ODI series will then conclude on 3 October at the Maharaja Yadvindra Singh PCA Stadium in Tira (Mullanpur), offering both sides a final chance to cement their combinations before the game dramatically accelerates. Captaincy duties are split for the home team as Shubman Gill will captain India's ODI team, while Shreyas Iyer takes charge of the T20I contingent. Conversely, the visiting Caribbean side will be unified under the sole leadership of Shai Hope, who captains the West Indies across both white-ball formats.
