IND vs WI 1st Test, Weather Forecast And Pitch Report: Rain Likely To Disrupt Proceedings?

Young opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal will make his India debut, as confirmed by captain Rohit Sharma, in the first Test against West Indies, starting later today in Dominica.

India Eye World Test Championship Boost From Struggling West Indies

India's latest quest for an elusive World Test Championship title gets under way on Wednesday in the lush tropical setting of Windsor Park Stadium in Dominica against a West Indies team expected to struggle to cope with the formidable challenge presented by the visitors in the two-match series. Rocked by the failure of the two-time winners to qualify for the 50-over-a-side World Cup in India in October-November this year, the Caribbean cricket community is unlikely to find solace in the shape of Kraigg Brathwaite's side in seeking to end a barren run of 21 years without a single Test match victory against the Indians.
