West Indies' long route to 2027 ODI World Cup starts in India
West Indies begin their challenging journey towards the 2027 ODI World Cup with an away series in India, while the hosts look to bounce back.
West Indies have officially commenced their long campaign towards qualification for the 2027 ODI World Cup with their latest assignment beginning in India.
For the home side, the series represents a crucial opportunity to get back to winning ways following a challenging period in the fifty-over format.
India enter this latest challenge missing several key personnel, as the squad is currently without the services of Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and Shreyas Iyer.
The hosts will be aiming to reverse a disappointing recent trend after having suffered defeats in two of the three ODI series they have contested over the course of the year.
