IND vs WI: Watch Team India reach West Indies for India tour of West Indies 2023, Practice to begin soon

IND vs WI: It’s been quite a while since we got updates about our favourite Indian players. Team India has been inactive since their loss against Australia in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 Final. A month-long break of the Indian players is about to conclude as we draw closer to the India tour of West Indies 2023.

A contingent of Indian players and support staff has already landed in Barbados for their IND vs WI assignments. As informed by the cricketers by their social media posts, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin and Shardul Thakur, reached West Indies on July 1.

The India tour of West Indies 2023 will commence with a two-game Test match series in Dominica and Trinidad. The two sides will then shift their gears for the 50-over series, which comprises three matches, followed by a long five-match T20I series in the West Indies and USA.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on July 3rd, Monday posted a 106-second video on its Twitter handle which showed some light moments shared by the Indian cricketers ahead of their tedious tour. The players can be seen playing beach volleyball.
