Rohit Sharma named in India’s squad for West Indies ODIs, Rishabh Pant to lead Rest of India in Irani Cup

The batting lineup features Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Naman Dhir. To cover for the missing Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy was shifted out of India's Asian Games roster to provide seam-bowling all-round skills, joining a fast-bowling unit composed of Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Gurnoor Brar, and newcomer Auqib Nabi.

Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja will handle primary spin duties for the matches scheduled in Trivandrum on September 27, Guwahati on September 30, and New Chandigarh on October 3.

Simultaneously, Shreyas Iyer has been appointed captain for the subsequent five-fixture T20I contest starting October 6 in Lucknow, supported by vice-captain Tilak Varma. The 20-over team includes batters Abhishek Sharma, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Ishan Kishan, and Sanju Samson, bolstered by all-rounders Shivam Dube and Nitish Kumar Reddy.

India's T20 bowling options rely on spinners Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, and Kuldeep Yadav, alongside fast bowlers Arshdeep Singh, Prince Yadav, and Mayank Yadav, with Jasprit Bumrah omitted due to his Asian Games commitments. Elsewhere on the domestic front, Rishabh Pant will captain the Rest of India team against Ranji Trophy winners Jammu and Kashmir in the Irani Cup.
