The Indian cricket team will play two additional T20Is against West Indies in the United States of America during their scheduled tour in July-August 2023.
India and West Indies were scheduled to play two Tests and a six-match white-ball series according to ICC's FTP for 2023. But the recent reports suggest that the two additional T20I matches are added to the schedule.
USA's Florida will be the venue for both games. The tour will begin in July and will continue till August.
India played two T20Is at Florida's Broward Stadium as a part of their West Indies tour last year.

After playing the first three games in West Indies, the Indian team faced visa issues to travel to the USA for the last two matches.
"That is the plan. Unless there is an unavoidable situation, the two extra games will be played in Florida, like last year," a CWI member said as quoted by Cricbuzz.
Notably, USA Cricket will have a minimal role in these matches as CWI will conduct them.
"No to USA Cricket. Cricket West Indies is the event host with special commercial relations and arrangements for local operations at the Broward Stadium. This is very similar to how the 2024 World Cup will operate for the US matches," a CWI official said.
