India prepares to host the West Indies for a three-match ODI series commencing on September 27 in Thiruvananthapuram. The visitors seek their first bilateral series triumph in the country since 2006, aiming to reverse a historical trend against the hosts.
The opening fixture takes place at Greenfield International Stadium, followed by encounters in Guwahati and Mullanpur.
Shubman Gill captains the home side, which features fresh faces alongside returning veterans, while Shai Hope leads the touring Caribbean squad. Several notable players miss the fixtures due to domestic commitments or fitness concerns, prompting fresh call-ups and recalls for both camps.
