Cricket fans are set for an exciting battle as India prepares to host the West Indies for a two-match Test series in October 2025. This series, part of the ICC World Test Championship cycle, will take place at two iconic venues – the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad and the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
The first Test will be held from October 2 to 6 in Ahmedabad, a venue known for its massive capacity and electric atmosphere. The action then shifts to Delhi for the second Test from October 10 to 14, where spin-friendly conditions could play a decisive role.
With stars like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kraigg Brathwaite, and Jason Holder expected to feature, the series promises high-quality cricket and strategic battles between bat and ball. For the West Indies, this is a crucial opportunity to prove themselves in challenging subcontinental conditions, while India will aim to consolidate their home dominance.
