The BCCI has confirmed the dates for West Indies' tour of India later this year. The series will begin on October 8, with an ODI in Kochi. There is an ODI every third day after that, ending with the fifth one in Dharamshala on October 20. The one-dayers will be followed by a Twenty20 in Delhi on the 22nd, before the three-Test series begins on October 30 in Hyderabad.
West Indies' visit will be India's only full series at home this season.
ODIs: 8 Oct - Kochi, 11 Oct - Vishakhapatnam, 14 Oct - Cuttack, 17 Oct - Kolkata, 20 Oct - Dharamshala
T20: 22 Oct - Delhi
Tests: 30 Oct-3 Nov - Hyderabad, 7-11 Nov - Bangalore, 15-19 Nov - Ahmedabad
When you see the West Indies playing only three tests on tour you know how poorly the team is rated. Apart from sponsorship there is nothing to attract fans to see the Windies play. Long gone are the days of five tests.

I mean no offense to the west indies side,but i don't think they are fit to play the 5 match series.I mean,even India have got to play a 5 match series only now.The sponsorship part comes second.
WI can get to play if they showcase a crushing win on a higher ranked side.

None,most of them are only 4 match series.Even SA doesn't play 5 match series right..??
It is only now India have got a chance,hope they don't let themselves down in the final test.A 2-2 wil be ideal..
