PHOTOS: Team India in West Indies to play four-Test series

The Indian cricket team, led by skipper Virat Kohli, arrived in St Kitts on Thursday for a four-Test bilateral series against the West Indies.

The opening match is at Antigua, beginning July 21.

New head coach Anil Kumble posted a photograph of the team on his Twitter handle and wrote: "Reached St. Kitts...long flight..@cheteshwar1 @klrahul11 @y_umesh Tour begins@BCCI."

The West Indies Cricket Board also shared a picture of the Indian team after they reached St. Kitts.

The opening match of the tour is a two-day game against the West Indies Cricket Board President's XI at Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts, on July 9 and 10, followed by a three-day warm-up fixture at the same venue from July 14 to 16. 

The opening Test is at the Vivian Richards Cricket Ground in Antigua from July 21 to 25.

The other three Tests are scheduled to be held at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica (July 30-August 3), Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia (August 9-13) and Queen's Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad (August 18-22). 

India last toured the Caribbean islands for a Test series in 2011. They clinched it 1-0,  after winning the opening game at Kingston and drawing the other two matches in Bridgetown and Roseau. 

Incidentally, Kohli returns to the West Indies -- where he made his Test debut -- after five years as the team's captain and premier batsman.
