Between July 22 and August 7, the Indian men's cricket team will play the West Indies in three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and five Twenty-20 Internationals (T20Is). 

The first two ODIs and three T20Is will be held in Trinidad and Tobago and St Kitts and Nevis, with the remaining two T20Is being held in Lauderhill, Florida in the United States. 

The three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) will be played on July 22, 24, and 27 at the Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, the series' broadcaster announced late on Wednesday on behalf of Cricket West Indies (CWI) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

The teams will then travel to Port of Spain's Brian Lara Stadium for the opening T20 match on July 29, followed by two games at St Kitts' Warner Park on August 1 and 2. To cater to the Indian diaspora's love for the game in the United States, the last two games will be hosted at Broward County Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida on August 6 and 7. 

The entire series will be live-streamed exclusively on FanCode, with fans able to follow along using the FanCode app (Android, iOS, TV). 

The series will begin at 7 p.m. IST for the ODIs and 8 p.m. IST for the T20Is, with the ODIs beginning at 7 p.m. IST for the T20Is.

"We have a youthful team that is anxious to bring back the style of cricket that the West Indies are known for. We want to use this series to fine-tune our preparations for the next T20 and 50 Over World Cups, so as I assume leadership of this squad, our goal is to always be competitive "Nicholas Pooran, the captain of the West Indies, was cited as saying of the upcoming series.

Johnny Grave, CEO of Cricket West Indies, stated on the tour and the broadcast deal: "Our four-year partnership with FanCode has brought Indian cricket fans closer to CWI's live properties in numerous formats, including tournaments featuring South Africa, Pakistan, Australia, and England. FanCode has established itself as the go-to platform for Indian cricket fans who want to enjoy the game in a digital-first manner, redefining the sports viewing experience." 

Bangladesh and New Zealand, in addition to India, are slated to visit the West Indies. Between June 16 and July 16, Bangladesh will play two Tests, three T20Is, and three ODIs. From August 10 to 21, 2022, New Zealand will play Bangladesh in a white-ball series consisting of three T20Is and as many ODIs.
