India will host the West Indies after 12 years in a two-match Test series in October while South Africa will arrive in the country for an all-format tour in November.

India will take on the Windies in the first Test at Mohali from October 2, while the second Test will be held in Kolkata from October 10.

The West Indies’ previous Test tour to India was in 2013-14, which was also the final international outing for batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar.

Meanwhile, ICC chairman Jay Shah confirmed that the Sourav Ganguly-led cricket committee will take a final call on the proposed revamp of the World Test Championship for the 2025-27 cycle next month.

The 16-member committee also includes former cricketers VVS Laxman, Daniel Vettori, Mahela Jayawardene and Shaun Pollock among others.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
