West Indies cricket fans have a lot to look forward to as their team prepares to host a series of exciting matches against South Africa, England, and Bangladesh from May to December 2024.
Kicking off the action-packed schedule, South Africa will be the first to visit the Caribbean, engaging in a thrilling three-match T20I series starting May 23 at Sabina Park, Jamaica. Interestingly, these T20Is will overlap with the IPL playoffs, potentially seeing West Indies stars like Rovman Powell and Shimron Hetmyer in action.

Following the T20Is, West Indies will embark on a challenging tour, starting with a Test series in England in July. Upon their return, they’ll host South Africa for two Tests in Trinidad and Guyana from August 7, followed by a three-match T20I series at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad from August 23.
October brings another exciting white-ball tour, this time in Sri Lanka, before England’s arrival in the Caribbean from October 31. The English team will compete in three ODIs and five T20Is across venues in Antigua, Barbados, and St Lucia.
In November, the focus shifts to Bangladesh’s tour of the West Indies, scheduled between November 22 and December 19. The series will commence with two Test Matches in Antigua and Jamaica, followed by three ODIs in St. Kitts & Nevis, and culminate with three T20Is in St Vincent.
Notably, Grenada and Dominica will miss out on hosting games this year due to stadium improvements. However, Cricket West Indies CEO Johnny Grave assured fans that these venues will return to the cricketing calendar in 2025, promising even more thrilling matches in the future.
