Template:Infobox cricket tour
The India cricket team toured the West Indies and the United States during August and September 2019 to play two Tests, three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1][2] The tour started with two of the T20I matches played at the Central Broward Regional Park in Lauderhill, Florida.[3] The Test series formed part of the inaugural 2019–2021 ICC World Test Championship.[4] The fixtures were confirmed in June 2019.[5][6]
In February 2019, Chris Gayle announced his retirement from ODI cricket,[7] and he last played in a Test match in September 2014, against Bangladesh.[8] However, in June 2019, during the Cricket World Cup, Gayle expressed his desire to play in the ODI matches for the West Indies, and possibly a Test match as well.[8] In July 2019, Cricket West Indies named the ODI squad for the series, with Gayle included in the team.[9] India's MS Dhoni elected to miss the tour to serve with his army regiment,[10] and Hardik Pandya was rested for the series.[11]
India won the T20I series 3–0.[12] In the second ODI, Chris Gayle became the first West Indian cricketer to play in 300 ODI matches.[13] It was his 297th ODI for the West Indies, with Gayle also playing three ODIs for the ICC World XI team.[14] In the same match, Gayle also became the leading run-scorer for a West Indies batsman in ODI cricket. He went past Brian Lara's record of 10,348 runs.[15] India won the ODI series 2–0, after the first match finished as a no result.[16]
India won the Test series 2–0.[17] The second match was Virat Kohli's 28th win as captain of India, becoming the most successful captain of India in Test cricket.[18]
