The last time, India played an ODI series against the West Indies was in July 2022. India dominated the West Indies in all 3 of the games during the away series. The men-in-blue intend to seek a similar outcome this time as well.
With the Asia Cup on the horizon, this series will be crucial. The first ODI of India vs West Indies series begins on July 27 in Barbados. The second One-Day International will also be played there, and the third and last One-Day International between India and the West Indies is scheduled to take place in Trinidad.
Rohit Sharma is heading a fairly good ODI side for the India-West Indies series. The team includes players like Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, and Yuzvendra Chahal. Rahul, who is out of the lineup while undergoing medical care for the leg injury he suffered during the IPL, has been replaced by Samson.
Shami’s absence among the bowlers would put Md Siraj at the helm of the attack. Unadkat, Thakur, and Umran Malik are among the other new ball bowlers. Mukesh Kumar, the lone uncapped player, might not appear in any ODIs between India and WI in 2023.
In the meanwhile, the West Indies have also revealed their lineup for the India vs West Indies ODI series. The 15-man team was picked after a four-day training camp at Kensington Oval to prepare white-ball players for the forthcoming CG United ODI Series.
Shimron Hetmyer, a left-handed batsman, and Oshane Thomas, a fast bowler, have both been called up by the WI selectors. Following their recovery from surgery, fast bowler Jayden Seales and leg-spinner Yannic Cariah have also been added, while left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie has also returned from injury.
