Shubman Gill to Captain India in West Indies ODI Series; Shreyas Iyer AbsentPreviousNext

India will host West Indies in a three-match ODI series starting September 27, with matches in Thiruvananthapuram, Guwahati, and New Chandigarh. Shubman Gill will captain the Indian team, while vice-captain Shreyas Iyer will miss the series due to his leadership role at the Asian Games. The squad includes returning players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Hardik Pandya, with potential changes in the middle order and wicketkeeping positions. The series marks the return of several key players to international cricket.
