IND vs WI 2023: Probable Playing XI for the 1st Test between India and West Indies

The first Test of the India tour of the West Indies is scheduled to take place on July 12 at Windsor Park. India enters this match after a month-long break following the World Test Championship Final against Australia in June, while the West Indies had a disappointing campaign at the World Cup 2023 Qualifiers. This series also marks the beginning of the new WTC Cycle 2023-2025 for both teams.

Following their defeat against Australia in the WTC final, the Indian cricket team is now embarking on a tour of the Caribbean islands. The tour includes two Test matches, three One-Day Internationals (ODIs), and five T20 Internationals (T20Is). Each victory in this series holds great significance as it will allow the Indian team to earn points and make their mark on the World Test Championship (WTC) table for the 2023-2025 cycle.
