The Test squad will be led by the talented Rohit Sharma, while the ODI team will be announced separately. With a balanced combination of seasoned veterans and promising youngsters, India aims to maintain their winning momentum and conquer the Caribbean challenges.

In a major squad announcement for the upcoming Test series against the West Indies, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made some notable changes, including the omission of Cheteshwar Pujara, the inclusion of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad, and the call-up of Mukesh Kumar. Led by Rohit Sharma, the Indian team is looking to make a strong statement in the Caribbean.

Experienced Core and New Faces:

With players like Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and Ajinkya Rahane, India’s test team and the one-day international team still have a strong foundation. Their knowledge and skills will be essential for fostering stability and leading the group to success. The series skipper, Rohit Sharma, has been in outstanding form and will be counted on to set the pace with his explosive batting approach.

With a mixture of seasoned veterans and bright young prospects, India’s Test squad for the West Indies series strikes a balance between experience and youth. It was a brave decision to leave out Cheteshwar Pujara, but Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Mukesh Kumar’s selections show that the team’s development as a dynamic and competitive unit is a priority.
