India to host West Indies and South Africa in home season
India will host the West Indies for two Tests in October followed by a series across formats against South Africa, the country's cricket board said Wednesday.
The West Indies Test tour to India begins on October 2 with the opener at the world's biggest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad.
Kolkata's iconic Eden Gardens will host the second Test from October 10-14.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said the upcoming international home season "promises thrilling encounters" as they announced the schedule in a release.
South Africa will play two Tests in India starting November 14 in New Delhi. The second match will be in Guwahati -- the venue to host its first-ever Test -- starting November 22.
The two teams will then clash in three one-day internationals and five T20 matches across different venues in India.
