Story highlights

BCCI announces India's ODI & T20I squads for the West Indies series. Auqib Nabi and Naman Dhir earn maiden ODI call-ups, while Mayank Yadav returns for T20Is.

No signs of Hardik Pandya yet, as BCCI’s selection committee named Jammu & Kashmir seamer Auqib Nabi in India’s ODI squad for the three-match series against the West Indies. While Nabi and all-rounder Naman Dhir earned their maiden One-Day call-ups, ace seamer Jasprit Bumrah misses out, as he is part of the Asian Games squad. Bumrah, however, is also absent from the T20I squad, with Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna to lead the pace attack in his absence.

In the batting department, CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja have been picked, with the talismanic pair of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli also included in the ODI squad. Shubman Gill will lead the team, with KL Rahul playing as his deputy. Dhruv Jurel is named as the second keeper-batter, with all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy also making his comeback to the 50-over team.
