Analysed 16 Sept 2026·13 sources analysed·New Delhi, India·Sports
India Selectors to Announce ODI and T20I Squads for West Indies SeriesPreviousNext

India's national selectors, led by Ajit Agarkar, are set to announce the ODI and T20I squads for the upcoming home series against West Indies, featuring three ODIs starting September 27 and five T20Is from October 6. Key considerations include Rishabh Pant's potential white-ball return amid Ishan Kishan's Asian Games absence, Hardik Pandya's fitness and readiness to bowl and field extensively, and the impact of several regulars unavailable due to the Asian Games and injuries. Agarkar's contract expiry and possible non-extension add further context to the selection meeting.
