India squad for West Indies ODIs, LIVE Updates: Ajit Agarkar set for farewell; Rohit Sharma gets his hopes revived

September 16, 2026

India is gearing up for a three-game home ODI series opposite the West Indies starting September 27, serving as preparation for the 2027 ODI World Cup. Convening in Delhi on September 16, the national selection committee could be holding its final gathering overseen by chief selector Ajit Agarkar, a development that might positively influence Rohit Sharma's international prospects.

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli is poised to rejoin the roster for his solitary remaining format, whereas Jasprit and vice-captain will miss out due to their participation in the 2026 Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan.

Ahead of the roster announcement, former star all-rounder Yuvraj Singh advised against disruptive personnel overhauls before the upcoming global tournament in South Africa. Recalling the instability at the number four position during the 2019 campaign compared to the successful consistency maintained throughout 2023, he emphasized the need for stability within the core lineup.
