prehistory

Heading

The test series overlapped with the final phase of the Indian Premier League in 2014 . Since the Kolkata Knight Riders reached the final, the West Indian bowler Sunil Narine was not available to his national team for the test series. The third test was originally planned in Guyana . However, since the local government took over the local cricket association directly, the West Indian association decided to hold the third test in Barbados . The previous winter, both teams met for a full series in New Zealand . There New Zealand won the Test and Twenty20 series, while the ODI series ended in a draw.
