Fresh from winning their second World Twenty20 title, the West Indies finished runners-up to Australia in a triangular ODI series also involving South Africa to continue a glorious year that has seen them also win the women's WT20, and Under-19 World Cup.
"They are looking stronger and in the middle of a fine form. But I think India have the side to beat them. I wish luck to (Virat) Kohli and (Anil) Kumble," Ganguly added. Kumble will begin his stint as head coach with two practice matches against WICB President's XI from July 9-16 followed by the four Tests from July 21-August 22.
