The Test matches and ODIs are done and it's time for the slam-bang, short-format T20 internationals between India and West Indies. The two teams will be playing five T20Is in the Caribbean and the United States of America starting Thursday, August 3 in Trinidad where the ODI series decider was played a day ago. The series might not have much significance in the short-term perspective, however, in the larger scheme of things it could be a start for both teams to look at their options ahead of the T20 World Cup 12 months more now in this very nation.

India have given chances to the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma and Mukesh Kumar in the squad and could be in line to play for the first time for the national side while the West Indies will be hoping to build a squad they can play consistently for a year after having won the T20I series against South Africa earlier this year under Rovman Powell.
