India will commence its World Test Championship campaign at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, before moving to Sabina Park in Jamaica for the second Test against the West Indies. India are currently top of the rankings in the longest format of the game.

Skipper Kohli believes that the Test Championship will make things difficult for the batsmen as it will result into a larger scheme of things.

"The games are going to be much more competitive and it brings a lot of purpose to the Test matches you play. It's the right move and at the absolute right time," Kohli said during the West Indies Players Association awards night on Monday.
