Cricket fans are now anticipating the Indian Cricket Team’s tour of the West Indies. They are now all set to play for the three formats and they have a powerful squad mixed with the seniors and youngsters. This may be a strategy of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to prevent the failed campaign of the team back in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 semi-final match, whereas they lost to New Zealand.
