MUMBAI: The 16-member Indian squad led by Virat Kohli left Mumbai on the night of Juy 21 for the West Indies to engage the hosts in a four-Test rubber later this month and in August.
“Yesterday night was a revelation to all of us,” emphasised Virat Kohli, his face suddenly contorting, like when you spot something paranormal, the eyeballs almost jumping out of its socket, evoking a winking smile from Anil Kumble, seated beside him.
The team was accompanied by its newly appointed head coach Anil Kumble and other support staff.
The squad will open the tour with a two-day game against the West Indies Cricket Board President's XI at Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts on July 9 and 10 followed by a three-day warm-up fixture at the same venue from July 14 to 16.
