West Indies and Pakistan will clash from 21 April- 24 May in a T20, five ODIs and two Tests. The Caribbean team will then go up against India in a T20, five ODIs and three Tests from 4 June-10 July.

The Pakistan leg of series will commence in St Lucia and conclude in St Kitts while stopping in Barbados and Guyana. India and West Indies will meet in a T20 and two ODIs at the Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad, then move to the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground in Antigua (two ODIs), Sabina Park in Jamaica (one ODI and the First Digicel Test), then on to Barbados for the second Test at Kensington Oval before the historic encounter at Windsor Park.
