The West Indies cricket team toured India, Pakistan and Ceylon from October 1948 to March 1949 and played a five-match Test series against the India national cricket team. West Indies won the Test series 1–0 with four matches being drawn. The West Indians played three matches in Pakistan in November and four matches in Ceylon in February.[1]

The team

The manager was Donald Lacy, who was the Honorary Secretary and Treasurer of the West Indies Cricket Board of Control.

Frank Worrell was in dispute with the West Indies Cricket Board of Control and was not selected. Hines Johnson, who had led the attack against England in 1947–48, was unavailable for business reasons.[2]
