Kolkata: Sachin Tendulkar is all set to play his 200th Test match on home soil with the BCCI trying to squeeze in a series against the West Indies ahead of the year end tour of South Africa.

The decision to invite West Indies for two Tests and five one-dayers was taken at the working committee meeting here today,BCCI official said.

The series against West Indies will provide Tendulkar a chance to complete the historic milestone of playing 200 Tests in front of home fans. Mumbai and Kolkata are the likely venues for the much-anticipated matches and the final decision will be taken by the BCCIs tours and fixtures committee.

This has also raised speculation that Tendulkar may call it quits from the game after this series.
