India, New Zealand, Bangladesh to light up long, busy Caribbean summer for WI

Thirty days of classy cricket in all three formats from June to August! Two Tests, nine One-day Internationals and 11 T20Is!

The Caribbean region is in for a long, hot summer of cricket in 2022 in what CWI CEO Johnny Grave called ‘the busiest year of cricket ever in the West Indies’.

Bangladesh, on tour from 16 June to 16 July, will start things off with two ICC World Test Championship matches in Antigua and St Lucia.

The two Tests will be followed by two T20Is at the fully refurbished Windsor Park in Dominica and one T20I and three ODIs at the Guyana National Stadium. The Dominica T20Is will be the first international matches to be played at Windsor Park since it was damaged by a hurricane in 2017.

India are next up, beginning their white-ball tour in Trinidad and Tobago on July 22. The Queen’s Park Oval in Port-of-Spain hosts the first three ODIs between 22 and 27 July before three separate venues welcome Rohit Sharma’s tourists for the next five T20Is.

Friday 29 July will see the first ever Men’s T20I to be played at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in the south of Trinidad. Warner Park in St Kitts and the Broward County Cricket Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida will be the venues for the next two pairs of T20Is, ending on August 6 and 7.

New Zealand’s white ball tour of the Caribbean, rescheduled from 2020 because of the Covid-19 pandemic, then bowls off in Jamaica with three T20Is. It then moves to Barbados for three day/night CG United ODIs from 17 August to 21 August.

All nine CG United ODIs are part of the ICC ODI Super League with the Nicholas Pooran-led West Indies aiming to qualify directly for the ICC World Cup in 2023.

Tickets for the Bangladesh Tests, priced at just US$6.00, will go on sale from June 3 with sale of tickets for the white ball matches starting later.

Tickets for the matches against New Zealand will start at US$10 while it will cost at least twice that to see India.
