West Indies women's cricket team is gearing up for a challenging tour of India, set to begin next month. The squad, led by all-rounder Hayley Matthews, is scheduled to play a combination of three T20 Internationals and three One Day Internationals.

The T20I series will kick off at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on December 15. Following this, the teams will head to Vadodara, where the ODI matches will take place at the Vadodara International Cricket Stadium starting December 22. These matches will contribute important points towards the ICC Women's Championship.

In the absence of the injured Stafanie Taylor, Matthews will be supported by vice-captain Shemaine Campbelle and key players like Deandra Dottin and Afy Fletcher. The team aims to replicate their 2016 success in India, where they secured a 3-0 victory in the T20 series.
