Another feast for Test cricket fans. Minimum 10: 2 (@WI), 4 (@Eng), 4 (@Aus), Likely 13: a potential 3 more hosting WI (not sure why we would play Tests back to back) and Improbable 16: 3 more vs. Eng.
@WI
Jun 20-24 (Mon-Fri): 1st Test v India, Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica
Jun 28-Jul 2 (Tue-Sat): 2nd Test v India, Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados
Jul 6-10 (Wed-Sun): 3rd Test v India, Windsor Park, Roseau, Dominica
@England
July 21-25 (Thu-Mon): 1st npower Test v India, Lord’s
July 29-Aug 2 (Fri-Tue): 2nd npower Test v India, Trent Bridge
Aug 10-14 (Wed-Sun): 3rd npower Test v India, Edgbaston
Aug 18-22 (Thu-Mon): 4th npower Test v India, Kia Oval
The following seems too good to be true:
October England tour of India, 3 tests, 5 ODIs
November West Indies tour of India, 3 tests, 3-5 ODIs
December India tour of Australia, 4 tests, 5 ODIs, 1 T20
There just doesn't seem to be enough time to play that much cricket. Plus the ECB website shows India as 5 ODIs, 1 T20 -- maybe that will change to 2Tests and 2 T20s:-)

The players is going to be awfully tired by the end of 2011. Perhaps some of the more senior members will be rested from some of the ODIs?
