IND vs WI Day 1: On Wednesday, July 12, India will play West Indies in the opening Test of the two-match series at Windsor Park in Dominica, kicking off their World Test Championship 2023–25 cycle. This will be the first time after the WTC final loss when the team India will step into the ground for an official match. This article will lead you through the IND vs WI Day 1 Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of Windsor Park, Roseau, Dominica.
With Yashasvi Jaiswal’s eagerly awaited debut in the two-Test series against a battered and seeking West Indies, the Indian squad is ready to put forth some important decisions. The much-discussed departure of Cheteshwar Pujara has opened up a spot in the Indian top order, and the incredibly gifted left-hander from Mumbai will be hoping that he lives up to his “name” and the potential that he has shown at the first-class level before being thrown into the deep end of the pool.
Live coverage of the Test series will be available in India on DD Sports. Regarding broadcasting rights, Viacom18 has purchased the series’ digital rights and will stream each game without charge on Jio Cinema. (Click Here to read more on India vs West Indies streaming and broadcasting details)
