Shubman Gill is the first player on this list. Since Gill has been picked for the IND vs WI ODI series, he might be picked for the T20I series as well. However, Gill might not get a chance to play any match in the T20I series.

The right-handed batsman has very less experience in ODIs and T20Is. Moreover, since Gill is an opener, players Shikhar Dhawan, Ishan Kishan, and Ruuraj Gaikwad are more likely to take up the opener’s slot.

Recently, Singh made his debut in a T20I match against England. There are some pacers like Shardul Thakur and Mohammed Siraj who have got a chance in the white-ball format after a long time.

They will be eager to be part of the ODI and T20I series against the West Indies. Moreover, some crucial players are also expected to return in the IND vs WI T20I series. If that happens, Arshdeep Singh might have to warm the bench in all the T20I games.

If Rishabh Pant returns to the squad in the T20I series, then Samson might find it difficult to get a place in the playing XI. The return of Dinesh Karthik in the T20I series against West Indies will also hamper Samson’s chances in playing XI.
