West Indies Cricket Board (CWI) has announced an exciting schedule of home tours for 2024, featuring visits from South Africa, England, and Bangladesh. The tours will provide ample opportunities for the West Indies team to prepare for the T20 World Cup and showcase their skills against some of the top cricketing nations.
The home season kicks off with a three-match T20I series against South Africa in May, followed by a two-Test series in August. The Proteas will also play a four-day warm-up game in Tarouba before the Test matches.
After a white-ball tour of Sri Lanka in October, West Indies will host England for a three-match ODI series and a five-match T20I series. The matches will be played across Antigua, Barbados, and St Lucia.
Bangladesh will then visit the Caribbean for an all-format tour from November to December. The tour will include two Test matches, three ODIs, and three T20Is. West Indies will return to the Arnos Vale Ground in St Vincent for the first time since 2014 for the T20I series. Bangladesh will also play a warm-up game before the Tests in Antigua.
CWI CEO Johnny Grave expressed his excitement about the upcoming tours, stating that they will provide valuable experience for the West Indies team. He also noted that Grenada and Dominica missed out on hosting games this year due to stadium improvements but will be included in the schedule for 2025.
