This page lists the West Indies' complete upcoming fixtures with dates, venues and series details.

West Indies Tour of India 2026 (Remaining Fixtures)
The West Indies' white-ball tour of India concludes with the final two T20Is of the five-match series. The tour has already produced memorable moments, including a West Indies win in Ranchi, and the visitors will want to finish strongly.
| Match | Date | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| 4th T20I | October 14, 2026 | Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad |
| 5th T20I | October 17, 2026 | M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru |
The West Indies' fearless brand of T20 cricket makes them dangerous opponents anywhere, and they have shown in this series that they can compete with India in Indian conditions.
West Indies Tour of Bangladesh 2026
After India, the West Indies head to Bangladesh for a two-Test series in late October and November. The series is part of the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle.
| Match | Date | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Test | October 28 – November 1, 2026 | Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur |
| 2nd Test | November 5-9, 2026 | Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, Sylhet |
Before the Tests, the West Indies play a three-day warm-up match starting October 22 in Dhaka to acclimatise to local conditions.
Touring Bangladesh is a stern examination for any side. The pitches in Mirpur and Sylhet assist spin heavily, and the West Indies batters will need to show patience and technique against Bangladesh's spinners. The West Indies' own spin options will be crucial if they are to compete across the two Tests.
Looking Ahead
Beyond the Bangladesh tour, the West Indies' fixture list continues into 2027, with Afghanistan scheduled to tour the Caribbean for a Test, three ODIs and three T20Is in February 2027. That series will be an important home assignment for the West Indies as they continue rebuilding across formats.
The West Indies have shown encouraging signs in recent series, including a drawn Test series against Pakistan earlier in the WTC cycle. The challenge now is consistency, particularly in away conditions in Asia.
Key Series to Watch
The remaining T20Is in India are about finishing the tour with momentum. The West Indies have already proven they can win in India, and two more victories would make this a genuinely successful white-ball tour.
The Bangladesh Tests are the bigger prize. WTC points are on offer, and while Bangladesh are favourites at home, the West Indies have the talent to spring a surprise if their batters apply themselves against spin.
The February 2027 home series against Afghanistan will be one to circle on the calendar, with the Afghan spinners set to test the West Indies in Caribbean conditions.
West Indies Squad Outlook and Players to Watch
The West Indies squad blends explosive talent with developing consistency. In T20 cricket, the Caribbean side remains one of the most entertaining teams in the world, with power-hitters capable of changing games in a matter of overs.
The Test squad is in a rebuilding phase but has shown encouraging signs, including a drawn series against Pakistan in the current WTC cycle. The batters will need to show patience and technique against spin in Bangladesh, while the bowlers must maintain discipline on unhelpful surfaces.
Young players coming through the Caribbean system are exciting, and tours like this are where reputations are built. The West Indies have a proud cricketing history, and the current generation is working to restore the side to the top of the international game.

The West Indies' tour of India has already shown the best and worst of this developing side. The win in Ranchi proved the talent is there, while the defeats showed the consistency gap against top opposition. The final two T20Is are a chance to end the tour on a high and take momentum to Bangladesh.
The Bangladesh tour is a different kind of challenge. Asian conditions have historically troubled the West Indies, and the turning pitches of Mirpur and Sylhet will demand patience and discipline. The three-day warm-up match in Dhaka is an important part of the preparation.
Looking further ahead, the home series against Afghanistan in February 2027 offers the West Indies a chance to play in familiar Caribbean conditions. By then, the lessons from India and Bangladesh should have hardened this young squad into a more complete side.
The West Indies' rebuilding project is one of the most interesting stories in international cricket. The talent coming through the Caribbean system is undeniable, and the challenge for the coaches is turning that talent into consistent performances.
The tour of Bangladesh will reveal how much progress has been made. Subcontinental conditions expose technical flaws ruthlessly, and the West Indies' young batters will learn valuable lessons regardless of results. The experience of playing Test cricket in Asia is essential development.
West Indies cricket has a glorious history, and the current generation carries the hopes of the Caribbean. Every tour is a step on the journey back to the top, and the fans back home will be following every ball.
