India will play the only Twenty20 match of the series on June 4, 2011 at the Port of Spain, after which the ODI series will begin on June 6 at the same venue. The Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua and the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain are the two venues for the ODI series.
The venues for the first two Tests will be Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica and the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, respectively.
The island of Dominica will host its first Test match during India’s tour of the West Indies in 2011, as the West Indies Cricket Board have chosen Windsor Park as the venue for the third and final Test of the series, to be held between July 6 and July 10.
Come see India’s “little giant”, Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, perform in what may be his last cricket test match in the West Indies. Tendulkar is the first player to score fifty test centuries and the first to score fifty centuries in all international cricket combined.
The players will only have a week to rest after the conclusion of the IPL before embarking for series in the Caribbean where the world champions will play a Twenty20, three Test matches and five One Day Internationals. The tour will last for fifty-one days which is why there are rumours suggesting that certain senior Indian players are considering opting out of the series.
