The West Indies cricket team are currently touring India from September to November 2018 to play two Tests, five One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1][2][3][4][5] Ahead of the Test series, there was a two-day practice match in Vadodara.[6]
Originally, one of the ODI matches had been allocated to the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram, per the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) Tours and Fixtures Committee.[7] However, when the fixtures were announced in March 2018, the match was allocated to the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi instead.[7] The Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) requested that the BCCI reviews the decision.[7] Two days later, the BCCI announced the fixture would be played in Thiruvananthapuram.[8] In September 2018, it was confirmed that the Ekana International Cricket Stadium in Lucknow would host its first ever international match.[9][10] Later the same month, it was reported that the second ODI match may be moved from the Holkar Stadium in Indore, due to a row about complimentary-ticket allocations.[11] On 3 October 2018, the BCCI confirmed that the second ODI would be moved to the Dr. Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium, in Visakhapatnam.[12] On 12 October 2018, the BCCI moved the fourth ODI from the Wankhede Stadium to Brabourne Stadium due to administrative issues.[13]
Jason Holder was ruled out of the first Test due to an injury, with Kraigg Brathwaite captaining the West Indies in his place.[14] India won the match, their 100th win in Tests at home.[15] India went on to win the second Test by 10 wickets, winning the series 2–0.[16] It was India's tenth consecutive series win at home in Tests.[17]
