India versus West Indies practice match
The team is coming on the back of a white-ball series in England, so there won’t be any practice game between both sides. West Indies also recently played against Bangladesh at home, and they are also coming with a lot of match practice under their belt.
Team India have rested their star players for the ODI series against West Indies. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Jasprit Bumrah, etc have been rested for this series. Shikhar Dhawan will lead the Indian side in the ODIs, whereas Ravindra Jadeja will be his deputy.
The players like Sanju Samson and Deepak Hooda can also get their much-deserved opportunity in the ODIs, whereas the bowling unit is also quite young in the absence of the senior players.
West Indies have named a 13-men squad for the ODI series, whereas Jason Holder has made his return to the team. Under the captaincy of Nicholas Pooran, the West Indies would want to improve their performances. Shai Hope will again be the main man at with bat in this series.
Considering the slow surfaces, the team has chosen Akeal Hosein and Gudakesh Motie in their ranks. The pace bowling will rely on Alzarri Joseph and Jayden Seales.
