Following the 2019 Cricket World Cup, where Afghanistan lost all of their matches, Rashid Khan was named as the new captain of the Afghanistan cricket team across all three formats.[7][8] In September 2019, Kieron Pollard was named as the captain of the West Indies' team for the ODIs and T20Is, taking over the roles from Jason Holder.[9] Holder was retained as the Test captain of the team.[10] Nitin Menon was one of the on-field umpires for the Test match,[11] becoming the 62nd Indian to umpire at this level.[12]
The West Indies won the first two ODIs to take an unassailable lead in the series, and secured their first ODI series win since beating Bangladesh 3–0 in August 2014.[13] The West Indies won the final ODI by five wickets,[14] winning the series 3–0, which was also their first whitewash since the Bangladesh series.[15] Afghanistan won the T20I series 2–1.[16] It was the second time that Afghanistan had won a T20I series against a team in the top ten of the ICC T20I Championship rankings, after whitewashing Bangladesh 3–0 in June 2018.[17] The West Indies won the one-off Test match by nine wickets, with the game finishing early on the third day.[18]
