MUMBAI: A young Sri Lankan side, led by the vastly experienced Mahela Jayawardene, will be hoping to make all the right moves against hosts West Indies during their two-Test matches and three ODI tour of the Caribbean Islands starting this month.

And Ten Sports, the most watched sports channel in the Sub-continent, will be present at each and every spectacular venue to ensure ball-by-ball coverage of what promises to be an intriguing series for both teams. Sri Lanka are hoping for a clean sweep to get over the disappointment of their tour Down Under, while the West Indies will be eager to build up on their good show in South Africa.

The first of the two Test matches start at Providence from Saturday, March 22, while the second Test is at Port of Spain from Thursday, April 3. The first two ODIs are at Port of Spain on 10 and 12 April, and the final ODI will be a day-night affair in St Lucia on 15 April.

Live telecast of the first Test match starts every day at 7:15 pm IST.

Sri Lanka lost both their last two tours of the West Indies, but with a much more experienced and varied bowling attack than the hosts this time ? led by world record holder off spinner Muttiah Muralitharan and veteran seamer Chaminda Vaas ? the visitors will be hoping for a first tour win in the Caribbean.

Sri Lanka will also be delighted with the batting form of skipper Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara on top of the order.

But the islanders are sure to run into a determined home side. Led by Chris Gayle, who is fit and raring to go, West Indies will like to put in a good performance to put to rest any talks about demoting them to a proposed ?second tier? Test status.

Ten Sports recently renewed its partnership with the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) for another five years to distribute television coverage of all cricket played in the West Indies between 2008 and 2012.

Ten Sports has the broadcast rights to the Middle-East and South-East Asia and will also distribute the events worldwide, with the exception of the UK, Ireland and Caribbean.
