International cricket tour
The
West Indies cricket team, captained by
Clive Lloyd, toured
India,
Sri Lanka and
Pakistan from November 1974 to March 1975 and played a five-match
Test series against the
India national cricket team followed by a two-match series against the
Pakistan national cricket team. West Indies won the series in India 3–2 and the series in Pakistan was drawn 0–0. In Sri Lanka, the West Indians played two internationals against the
Sri Lanka national cricket team which had not then achieved Test status; therefore, the internationals played at the
Colombo Cricket Club Ground and the
Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu Stadium, both in
Colombo, are classified as
first-class matches. India was captained by
Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, Pakistan by
Intikhab Alam and Sri Lanka by
Anura Tennekoon.
