Senior Manager for Cricket West Indies (CWI), Roland Holder, has described India as “very peculiar in making their arrangements” after confirming that they have yet to confirm when they will arrive for their tour of the West Indies set to start on July 12 with the first Test at Windsor Park in Dominica.
The tourists will first fly to Barbados before being chartered to Dominica for the first Test. The series will consist two Tests, three ODIs and five T20Is from July 12 to August 13.
Holder, speaking on the Mason & Guest radio show on Tuesday, says India has yet to confirm when they will be arriving for the tour.
“They are still working through their flight options but they are anticipating arriving on July 1,” said Holder.
“It varies from country to country,” he said about teams communicating their plans for tours quickly.

Who decides on venue? Don’t tell me we deciding on venue and we giving India Home court advantage with tests in Dominica and Trinidad, two wickets that highly favor India. Don’t tell me we are scared of playing India on the more pacer friendly wickets of Barbados and Jamaica

Let’s face the facts, WI is no longer considered as a prestige team, so India feels like they could just pick up a team and make arrangements at their own timing, remember they have nothing to gain by playing WI a minnows team, we have all to gain.Time to reeducate ourselves, we are no longer world beaters.

India definitely have home court advantage in TnT with the "Indian fans" coming to watch the game.
