Queen Park Oval's travails with drying an outfield dampened by rain spilled over to a fourth successive day before match officials called the Test off on the fifth morning after a quick consultation with Anil Kumble and Phil Simmons, the head coaches of India and West Indies respectively. The drawn outcome in Trinidad meant India had to settle for a 2-0 scoreline, thereby conceding their top position in the ICC Test Rankings to Pakistan.

Ironically, the decision to call off the game was taken with the Port of Spain venue baked in resplendent sunshine on Monday (August 22). In what is likely to concern the authorities at the venue and the West Indies Cricket Board is the venue allowed for only 22 overs of play - fifth lowest for a non-abandoned Test - despite only two days affected by rain.

The result of the Test notwithstanding, India's series victory acquires significance for being the first instance of the team winning two Tests on a tour of the Caribbean.

India will now play a two-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series in Florida against West Indies. Following that, the Virat Kohli-led Test side will head back to India for their extended home season, one in which they are scheduled to play 13 Tests against New Zealand, England, Australia and Bangladesh.

Brief Scores: West Indies 62/2 (Kraigg Brathwaite 32*; R Ashwin 1-22) vs India. Match Drawn.
