India Tour of West Indies 2022:
Team India’s next tour to the Caribbean is all set to start on 22nd July. The team will leave for a three-match ODI and five-match T20 series after the England tour is over. The complete Indian Camp will be traveling on a charter jet according to the BCCI. On Monday, the ODI team flew out of Manchester to the Islands.
Shikhar Dhawan will captain the squad. Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, and Sanju Samson will join the 16-player ODI team. The three did not participate in the ODI series with England. By Tuesday, they are expected in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. The remaining members of the team, together with the coaching staff, led by head coach Rahul Dravid, will fly directly from Manchester.
Virat Kohli will remain in London, though, since he has taken a sabbatical and is not participating in the West Indies Tour. Along with him, his family will relocate to an unidentified part of England. He’ll only return for the Asia Cup, which gets underway on August 27.
