The India vs West Indies Test series will start on October 2 in Ahmedabad. India will play their first home Test of the 2023-25 ICC World Test Championship cycle against West Indies in Ahmedabad. The iconic Narendra Modi Stadium will play host to the match from October 2 to 6.

It is the first time after 2018 that the West Indies team has landed in India for a Test series. Two years ago, India visited the Caribbean islands for a Test series against West Indies and emerged victorious by 1-0. West Indies will be keen to avenge that defeat in the upcoming match.
