India vs West Indies Live Cricket Streaming, 1st Test: How to Watch India vs West Indies Coverage on TV And Online
The much-anticipated Test series between India and West Indies is about to commence, as the two teams face off in the first Test match at Windsor Park in Dominica on July 12. Team India, despite qualifying for the World Test Championship (WTC) final twice, has yet to bring home the coveted ICC Test Mace. With the 2023-25 WTC cycle already underway, India aims to start their campaign on a winning note against West Indies in this two-match series.
Led by Rohit Sharma, the Indian side will feature several players who are coming off a disappointing defeat in the 2023 WTC final. Ajinkya Rahane will serve as Sharma’s deputy, while Cheteshwar Pujara gets a well-deserved rest. Additionally, uncapped youngsters such as Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Mukesh Kumar have earned their maiden Test call-ups, adding an exciting element to the Indian squad. Unfortunately, veteran pacer Mohammad Shami will be absent, replaced by Navdeep Saini.
West Indies, too, have made some modifications to their Test squad. Kraigg Brathwaite will retain the captaincy role, with Jermaine Blackwood serving as vice-captain. The team has added emerging talents like Kirk McKenzie and Alick Athanaze, hoping to give them a chance to make their debut in the longest format. Furthermore, all-rounder Rahkeem Cornwall and spinner Jomel Warrican have returned to the West Indies Test squad after an extended period.
The first Test match between India and West Indies will take place on July 12, Wednesday, at 7:30 PM IST. Indian viewers can catch the action live on DD Sports, while the JioCinema and FanCode apps will provide live streaming of the match.
