IND vs WI: India is all set to visit West Indies for an all-format tour. West Indies will host 2 test matches, 3 ODIs, and 5 T20Is. BCCI have recently revealed the test and ODI Squad of India touring the West Indies. The board is yet to announce the T20I squad but rumors are all around for the T20I squad. Here we predict India’s Strongest Squad for T20Is Against West Indies.
Pujara was dropped from the Test Squad, and a few fresh names were added. According to a few rumors, well-known players like Rohit and Virat might be left off the list of the IND vs WI T20I squad. In the T20Is as well, BCCI is seeking some fresh talent.
Following the conclusion of the Test and ODIs, India and West Indies will begin their five-match T20I campaign on August 3 in Trinidad. The first three matches of the five-match series will take place in Trinidad and Guyana in the West Indies, while the final two matches will take place in Florida, the United States.
Indian T20 Cricket has recently struggled in the majority of the T20 main events. Whether it was the Asia Cup 2022 or the ICC T20 World Cup 2022, India failed, prompting harsh criticism of the team’s senior players. It might lead the BCCI to implement some changes, possibly beginning with the next T20I Series against the West Indies.
As some rumors suggest, BCCI is set to drop some senior players from the side including Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli and hand over the T20I captaincy to Hardik Pandya. He has been carrying out these duties and it may be the right time to hand him the T20I captaincy. The Board of Cricket Council of India will soon announce the IND vs AUS T20I Squad and it won’t be surprising if the names like Virat and Rohit may not present in the list.
IPL has provided a number of stars in the T20I format and based on it, star players like Rinku Singh of the Kolkata Knight Riders, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rahul Tripathi, and Umran Malik can make their T20I debut against the West Indies. Eyes will also be on whether Ruturaj and Sanju Samson get T20I call out or not.
