West Indies and Ireland women are set to tour India for white-ball series in December and January as part of the 2022-2025 Future Tours Programme (FTP).
India will face West Indies in three T20Is in Navi Mumbai and three ODIs in Vadodara in December, followed by three ODIs against Ireland in Rajkot in January 2025. This will mark Ireland women’s first bilateral tour of India and their first series against India since 2006.
The T20Is against West Indies are scheduled for December 15, 17, and 19, followed by ODIs on December 22, 24, and 27. The three Ireland ODIs will take place on January 10, 12, and 15. Both ODI series will be part of the ICC Women’s Championship.
With the ODI World Cup set to be held in India next year, the hosts began their tournament preparations with an ODI series against New Zealand in Ahmedabad, which they won 2-1 following the T20 World Cup in October. They are also scheduled to play three ODIs against Australia in Brisbane and Perth in December before the West Indies series.
India last played in Vadodara in 2019 in an ODI series against South Africa. Rajkot will host India women for the first time in 14 years, with their last match at the venue being in January 2011 against West Indies.
West Indies last played a white-ball series in India in 2016, winning the T20Is 3-0 and losing the ODIs 0-3.
Ireland have lost all 12 ODIs they’ve played against India. The teams last met in the 2023 T20 World Cup, where India won by five runs.
