In January 2022, to reduce the impact of the COVID-19 affecting the series, the BCCI limited the number of venues to be used, with Ahmedabad and Kolkata hosting the ODI and T20I matches respectively.[7] The date of the third ODI was also moved forward by one day to avoid clashing with the 2022 IPL auction.[8]

The opening fixture of the tour was India's 1,000th ODI match,[9] becoming the first team to play one thousand matches in that format.[10] India went on to win the match by six wickets.[11] India won the second ODI by 44 runs, giving them an unassailable lead in the series.[12] It was India's eleventh consecutive bilateral ODI series victory against the West Indies, a streak going back to January 2007.[13] India won the third ODI by 96 runs to win the series 3–0.[14]

India won the opening T20I match by six wickets.[15] They went on to win the second T20I by eight runs, winning the series with a match to play.[16] The win was also India's 100th victory in Twenty20 International cricket.[17] India won the final match of the tour by 17 runs, to also win the T20I series 3–0.[18]

Ahead of the tour, Shahrukh Khan and Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore were both added to India's T20I squad as standby players.[23] Following seven positive cases of COVID-19 in the Indian camp, Mayank Agarwal was added to India's ODI squad.[24] Ishan Kishan, who was originally only part of India's T20I squad, was also added to their ODI squad,[25] along with Shahrukh Khan.[26] Ahead of the T20I series, KL Rahul and Axar Patel were both ruled out of India's team due to injuries.[27] Ruturaj Gaikwad and Deepak Hooda were named as their replacements.[28] Washington Sundar was also ruled out of India's T20I squad, after suffering a hamstring injury,[29] with Kuldeep Yadav named as his replacement.[30] Prior to the third and final T20I of the tour, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant were both released from the Indian squad.[31]
