Team India will begin a new cycle in the World Test Championship (WTC) on Wednesday when they face West Indies in the first of two-match Test series at the Windsor Park in Roseau, Dominica. India have never lost a Test series in the Caribbean for more than two decades now, from 2002 and skipper Rohit Sharma will look to continue that winning run.

The West Indies are reeling from the results in the Cricket World Cup 2023 Qualifier in Zimbabwe, where they failed to qualify for the ODI World Cup for the first time in the history of the tournament. However, they will be a tough side to beat in the longest format at home.

India have struggled to win Test matches this years, losing two out of their last four Tests – including the WTC Final against Australia last month. They will have a new vice-captain in Ajinkya Rahane with Cheteshwar Pujara being dropped. Young Rajasthan Royals batter Yashasvi Jaiswal, who had a terrific run in the IPL 2023, is set to make his Test debut in Dominica.

“Every cricketer goes through some ups and downs. And the way Ajju bhaiya has made his comeback is remarkable. He is an inspiration. I am really happy for Ajju bhaiya. The way he played in the IPL and then in the WTC Final was just brilliant,” pacer Navdeep Saini was quoted as saying by Times of India newspaper.
