The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced a Test and ODI squad for the upcoming West Indies tour on Friday, June 23. The star batter Cheteshwar Pujara and experienced pacer Umesh Yadav are not part of India's Test squad after poor outings in the World Test Championship final 2023.
As expected youngsters Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturraj Gaikwad are included in India's Test team for the first time after a string of impressive performances in the domestic circuit.
India Test squad for West Indies tour: Rohit Sharma (Capt), Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ajinkya Rahane (VC), KS Bharat (wk), Ishan Kishan (wk), R Ashwin, R Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel, Mohd. Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat, Navdeep Saini.
