India And West Indies Set To Face Off In Five T20I Matches
India and West Indies are set to face off in five T20I matches once their three-match ODI series is over. On Friday, the inaugural match will take place at Trinidad’s Brian Lara Stadium (July 29).
The team’s captain for the T20I games will be Rohit Sharma, who was rested for the 50-over games during the Caribbean tour. Due to their relaxation for the task, the visitors will be missing a number of seasoned campaigners including Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and Yuzvendra Chahal.
India’s squad for West Indies T20Is: Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Deepak Hooda, Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravi Bishnoi
