India is set to tour West Indies for the white-ball series after the conclusion of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed the schedule, with the Men in Blue slated to play 3 ODIs and 5 T20Is against the Men in Maroon from July 22.

“Those are the dates and the schedule will be announced once the clearance from the US comes. We are waiting for the sanctioning from the US,” a CWI official in the know of things told Cricbuzz on May 6.

Meanwhile, much like India’s home T20I series against South Africa, there would likely be no to very few Covid protocols in place in this series.

“The India series is still about three months away, but medical protocols will have to be adhered to as needed,” the CWI official said.

The Indian team will travel to Trinidad on July 18 from UK after completing its engagements consisting of a Test, three T20Is and as many ODIs, in that order, from July 1 to 17.

The Rohit Sharma-led Indian side will begin their tour of the Caribbean Islands with three ODIs, which will be played at Queens Park Oval on July 22, 24 and 27. The 50-over leg will be followed by a five-match T20I series, with Brian Charles Lara Stadium scheduled to host the opening match on July 29.
