GEORGETOWN (Guyana), March 31: India’s cricket team will receive tight security in Guyana, officials said Sunday ahead of the first Test against West Indies next month.

Guyana Cricket Board official Conrad Plummer said that India, who will play five-Test series and as many one dayers during their two-month Caribbean tour, will have armed police escorts during their visit to Guyana.

Practice venues will be guarded while more than 130 police ranks will be present on each day of the first Test, which starts on April 11, at the Georgetown Cricket Club.
