India vs West Indies Test Series 2025: Full Schedule, Squads & Venues

The West Indies tour of India 2025, commencing on October 2, is more than just another cricket series. The rivalry between the two countries dates back centuries. The West Indies have come a long way from having the upper hand in all formats of the game during the 1970s through the 90s, to India having the upper hand in recent years.

The last time West Indies defeated India in a Test series was in 2002, winning 2-1 in a series played in the Caribbean. Since then, India have enjoyed a successful run against the West Indies, winning each series played between the two countries. In 2016, India toured the Caribbean and won the four-match series 2-0.

While the West Indies continue to lead the head-to-head record in Tests (30 wins to India’s 22), the last two decades haven't been good for them in any format of the game. In the Test series between the two nations, India will play under new captain Shubman Gill, who is fearless and fierce when it comes to the game. Hence, the upcoming series is set to become the next contest of attention for the visitors.
