KL Rahul Likely ODI Vice-Captain as Asian Games Affect India’s West Indies Series
India's upcoming three-match ODI series against the West Indies, starting September 27, faces selection challenges due to the Asian Games overlapping schedule. Regular vice-captain Shreyas Iyer and wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan will be unavailable, leading to KL Rahul likely being named vice-captain. The selection committee will decide between Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel as the second wicketkeeper. The clash also opens opportunities for players like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad, while selectors manage two squads simultaneously.
