Perhaps, BCCI has started to take the 2019 World Cup preparation seriously. They once again named their full strength side against Windies for the remaining three ODI games. In fact, they strengthened it furthermore by calling Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah back in the team.

One would have expected that BCCI would name the players based on the performances on the ongoing Deodhar Trophy and the recently-concluded Vijay Hazare Trophy. However, it wasn???t the case, as they announced their full strength side.

Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are back:

Virat Kohli will be leading the team once again while Rohit Sharma will take care of the vice-captaincy. MS Dhoni will do the wicketkeeping role alongside Rishabh Pant being the backup wicketkeeper.

Meanwhile, there are no significant changes in the batting lineup and the all-rounder???s setup. However, the expensive Mohammed Shami has been left out while Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah make a return.

Meanwhile, it would become a big headache for the team management to pick their playing XI for the third ODI. Most probably, Khaleel Ahmed and Umesh Yadav will warm the bench in the presence of Bhuvneshwar and Bumrah.

It would be interesting to see whether Manish Pandey will get the nod to feature in the playing XI or not. He made his way back into the team with a stunning performance in the Quadrangular series.

On the other hand, KL Rahul would be waiting to get one more cap for India in the ODIs. With Dhawan and Rohit in blistering form, it is a tough ask to embed KL Rahul in the playing XI.

Currently, India is leading the series with 1-0 before heading into the third ODI at Maharashtra Cricket Association, Pune on 27th October. The games will follow at Mumbai (29th October) and Thiruvananthapuram (1st November).
