In February, the West Indies Championships will return

"The plan is for the West Indies Championship four-day competition to restart in February with teams hopefully traveling and playing...we are going to anchor we think three teams at home and three teams will travel and reverse that for the second round.

The Grave was speaking during his weekly radio program on SportsMax when he revealed the resumption of the 'West Indies Championships'. In addition, Grave also announced plans for a two-team ODI series against India later this year. The feature match in that series would be at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica, while Guyana's National Stadium would host a T20 international between both countries.

The Grave was adamant that the West Indies would be ready to play in India by November. The Cricket Australia-funded trip to India is the first time the players will have worn traditional 'flannels' and played on grounds with grassed outfields since their tour of England last year.

The CPL, which begins on August 9, has prevented West Indies from playing any ODI series until then. And while Grave said he would prefer that all other cricket comes before it, he added: "We should start looking at this [ODI series] as an extra rather than a setback."


Captain Darren Sammy echoed that sentiment, who told ESPNcricinfo: "I am excited about going back to India. We were there during the World Cup, and it is a beautiful country, so I am looking forward to going back again.

#India has become one of the most essential cricketing nations, more popular than even Australia or England (who had said goodbye to their ODI game after the world cup), and we certainly need to keep reaping benefits from playing them. On all different surfaces."

For now, though, the focus shifts to the just-concluded T20 series against Zimbabwe, which was salvaged with three wins in five matches following two heavy defeats that had seen West Indies lose four early wickets for meager totals. The first match was washed out without a ball being bowled.

Asked about his most significant danger ahead of this new campaign, Grave said: "I think that a lot if the West Indies cricket fraternity would agree with me when I say we have got to win more games, and we've got to be better at winning games.

"We need to improve all aspects of our play because one thing we do know is that our players are capable of playing good cricket."

The 'West Indies Championships' will run for almost four months, initially slated for August 3, 2011, until February 2012. The Darren Sammy-led side recently completed a two-match Test series against Zimbabwe before getting back into the T20 groove at home and in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka/United Arab Emirates.
