West Indies

Identity and regional role

West Indies is the senior men's international cricket side representing the Caribbean region rather than a single sovereign country. Cricket West Indies (CWI) describes it as the “West Indies senior men's team” and, in the same official release, calls it the “regional team”; its own site presents itself as “The Home of West Indies Cricket.”

For directory purposes, the exact primary name is West Indies. “Windies” is retained as an exact equivalent label used by the governing body's official site; no age-group, women's, A-team, or legends variants are included.

Formats and competition context

The ICC places West Indies in its men's team directory and provides a dedicated West Indies profile. That profile separately reports Test, ODI and T20 rankings, establishing the three senior international formats associated with the team. CWI's official release likewise refers to an all-format programme and explicitly lists Tests, One Day Internationals and T20 internationals. (;; )

This is an editorial identity profile, not a live squad, XI, ranking snapshot, standings record, or statistical archive. Selection and availability can change after the working date.

Current fixture reference

On the stated working date, the BCCI's official match centre identifies India v West Indies at Indore, 3rd T20I, 11 Oct 2026. It labels the match a T20I, gives a 1:30 pm UTC start, and names Holkar Stadium, Indore as the venue. This is a fixture reference only and should not be read as a permanent home venue or as a squad announcement.

The official CWI homepage also displayed the same 3rd T20I as India v West Indies at Holkar Stadium on Sunday 11 October 2026, providing a second first-party confirmation of the event context.
