The West Indies cricket team toured India in December 2019 to play three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. [1] [2] [3] In November 2019, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) swapped the venues for the first and third T20I matches. [4] Ahead of the tour, Chris Gayle confirmed that he would not be playing in the ODIs for the West Indies, after he announced he would be taking a break from cricket. [5]

For the first time in international cricket, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the use of technology to monitor front-foot no-balls for all matches during the tour. [6] The third umpire called the front-foot no-balls, communicating this with the on-field umpires. [7] It was used as a trial to see if it can be implemented further, without a detriment to the flow of the game. [8]

India won the T20I series 2–1, winning the third and deciding match by 67 runs. [9] India also won the ODI series 2–1, after losing the opening match. [10] It was India's tenth-consecutive win in a bilateral ODI series against the West Indies, going back to May 2006, when the West Indies beat India 4–1 at home. [11]
