The West Indies cricket team toured India in December 2019 to play three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1][2][3] In November 2019, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) swapped the venues for the first and third T20I matches.[4] Ahead of the tour, Chris Gayle confirmed that he would not be playing in the ODIs for the West Indies, after he announced he would be taking a break from cricket.[5]
For the first time in international cricket, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the use of technology to monitor front-foot no-balls for all matches during the tour.[6] The third umpire called the front-foot no-balls, communicating this with the on-field umpires.[7] It was used as a trial to see if it can be implemented further, without a detriment to the flow of the game.[8]
India won the T20I series 2–1, winning the third and deciding match by 67 runs.[9] India also won the ODI series 2–1, after losing the opening match.[10] It was India's tenth-consecutive win in a bilateral ODI series against the West Indies, going back to May 2006, when the West Indies beat India 4–1 at home.[11]

Ahead of the series, Shikhar Dhawan injured his left leg and was replaced by Sanju Samson in India's T20I squad.[16] Dhawan was later also ruled out of India's ODI squad, and was replaced by Mayank Agarwal.[17] Bhuvneshwar Kumar was also ruled out of India's ODI squad due to injury and was replaced by Shardul Thakur.[18] Navdeep Saini was added to India's squad for the third and final ODI, replacing the injured Deepak Chahar.[19]
During the West Indies' ODI series against Afghanistan in November 2019, Nicholas Pooran was found guilty of ball tampering.[20] He was banned for four T20I matches, therefore missing the three T20I matches against Afghanistan and the first T20I against India.[21]
