Anybody else note the schedule of the ongoing India-West Indies “ODI” series?

Sunday June 28: 2nd ODI
… 4 days …
Friday July 3: 3rdODI

Why don’t they call it a “friendly” and be done with it? I cannot believe anyone in either team would want to exert themselves when they can be in neutral and enjoy this Caribbean vacation. I wonder whose effigies will be burned when India stumbles into a 1-3 thrashing.
