India will play two Tests, three ODIs and five T20Is on the tour of West Indies.

India’s next assignment is the tour of West Indies, where the team is due to play two Tests, three ODIs and five T20Is.

For the all-format tour, Team India arrived in the Caribbean island on Monday (July 3). After landing in Barbados, the Indian squad and the backroom staff had a beach volleyball session.

It was quite an enjoyable session as fast bowler Mohammed Siraj sported the Portugal Cristiano Ronaldo 7 kit, while star batter Virat Kohli shared a fist pump with head coach Rahul Dravid. On the other hand, wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan played the role of a cameraman.

“We’re thankful for the team management to get two days for the boys to fight jetlag and we hit the ground running from tomorrow. We just had a light NEC recreation day and that’s about it,” Soham Desai, the Indian team’s strength and conditioning coach, said in a video posted by BCCI on Twitter.

Here’s the video:

India’s tour of West Indies will get underway on July 12 with the two-match Test series in Dominica. The tour will conclude on August 13 with the fifth and final T20I in Florida.
