Team India are gearing up for the West Indies tour, which starts on July 12. India will be playing 2 Tests, 3 ODIs and 5 T20Is in West Indies. This series comes after a break of a month-long break for India. Now, BCCI posted a video of Indian players meeting fans and clicking pictures with the local players.

<h2>Indian Cricketers show great gestures</h2>

The video shows Mohammad Siraj giving his bat and shoes as a note of thanks to a young fan while clicking pictures with them. Siraj said in the video that these players have helped the team a lot in practice and he just wanted to thank them by this gesture. Indian keeper Ishan Kishan can also be seen in the video advising the younger players.&nbsp;

<h2>Changes for the West Indies tour</h2>

The Indian side has picked up youngsters and has rewarded them for their performances in domestic leagues as well as the Indian Premiere League. Players, like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad, have been roped in to the Test squad.&nbsp;

In T20Is, Hardik Pandya will lead the side as there is no return of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Tilak Varma have both received their maiden T20I call-up after their wonderful performance in the IPL. Yashasvi was the 5th highest run-getter for Rajasthan Royal with 625 runs and Varma was an integral part of MI’s middle order and helped them reach the playoffs. Axar Patel and Avesh Khan have also returned to the team after missing the New Zealand T20Is.

India’s T20I squad: Ishan Kishan (wk), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Surya Kumar Yadav (VC), Sanju Samson (wk), Hardik Pandya (C), Axar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar.

Mohammed Siraj’s heartwarming gesture is a super show

Indian pacer Navdeep Saini received an official warning for breaching Level One of the ICC Code of Conduct in his debut match against West Indies in Florida.&nbsp;

In his debut match, Saini made an immediate impact claiming three for 17 off his four overs and earned man of the match award.&nbsp;

Saini achieved the rarity of a maiden in that final over but it was his earlier double-strike which gave the 26-year-old fast bowler the sort of dream start he would have wished for

During the match, Saini found guilty of breaching Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel and has been handed one demerit point.&nbsp;

The Article relates to using actions or gestures which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon their dismissal.&nbsp;

The incident happened during the 4th over of the West Indies' innings when Saini took the wicket of Nicholas Pooran.&nbsp;

Saini admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by the match referee.&nbsp;

No pre-departure press conference by Indian team ahead of West Indies tour

Sri&nbspLanka&nbspall-rounder Angelo Mathews will miss the rest of their West Indies tour after he left for home due to personal reasons, while fast bowler Lahiru Gamage was ruled out with an injury.

The duo's return is a major setback for&nbspSri&nbspLanka, who suffered a crushing 226-run defeat in the first of the three-test series at Port of Spain on Sunday.

Former captain Mathews, who scored 11 and 31 in the opening test, was determined to make a mark after missing five months of action with hamstring and calf injuries.

Sri&nbspLanka&nbspCricket confirmed Gamage fractured his finger while batting in the first test.

Batsman Dasun Shanaka, who last played a test against Bangladesh in February, and all-rounder Danushka Gunathilaka will be flown out as replacements later on Wednesday evening.

It is unlikely that the duo will be available for the start of the second test at St Lucia on Thursday, given the lengthy flights.

The visitors, though, have Dhananjaya de Silva and Mahela Udawatte as cover for Mathews, and extra quicks Kasun Rajitha and Asitha Fernando to replace Gamage.
