India ODI Squad vs West Indies: Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli Return as Shubman Gill Leads 15-Man Team
India named their ODI squad for the upcoming series against the West Indies. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are both back in the team. The two veterans now play only 50-over cricket internationally, having retired from Tests and T20Is. Shubman Gill will captain the 15-man squad. The three-match series begins on September 27 in Thiruvananthapuram.
Rohit’s place had been uncertain. There was talk about whether he still fit into India’s plans. But he scored 138 in his last ODI against England at Lord’s in July. That knock helped his case. Both Rohit and Kohli want to play in next year’s ODI World Cup. Fans and experts are still divided on whether they should be part of that squad.
Ravindra Jadeja also returns to the ODI side. He last played an ODI in January. Two new faces could make their international debuts. Fast bowler Auqib Nabi and batting all-rounder Naman Dhir have both received their first call-ups.
The ODI squad includes Shubman Gill as captain, along with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad, KL Rahul and Dhruv Jurel as wicketkeepers, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Prasidh Krishna, Gurnoor Brar, Mohammed Siraj, Auqib Nabi, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Naman Dhir.
