The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was often criticised for its poor scheduling of the series. Recently, the Indian fans lashed out at the board for arranging regular series against Sri Lanka. Now, they introduced yet another series against the underperforming Windies team.

It would have been a breathtaking announcement if Windies was the same as earlier. But, of late, they completely lost their charm and even lost the games against Associate teams as well.

Senior players might get rest for India vs Windies series in October:

Meanwhile, BCCI arranged a series against India in October which will take place just after the Asia Cup 2018. Probably, with a hectic schedule and tour to Australia is scheduled in November, key players will be given rest.

Already being a low profile series and with the major players being rested, possibly, it won’t serve the Indian fans well enough. Surprisingly, they announced the series in all formats of the game.

The men from the Caribbean will visit India during October and November for a tour comprising two Tests, five One-day Internationals and three Twenty20 Internationals. If India qualifies for the final of the tournament, they will have five days in store before taking on Windies at home.

However, they have arranged five ODI matches in the series and three T20I games. Perhaps, Limited overs game could serve better than those two Test games. It was a tight-packed schedule with only 2-4 days rest between each game.

After the conclusion of the series, Windies will take a flight to Bangladesh to lock horns against them. Meanwhile, Indians will tour Australia for three T20Is, four Tests and three ODIs.

Also, here are the tweets following the announcement from the BCCI regarding India vs Windies series scheduled in October:
