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