The squad for Indian tour of West Indies is announced, and there are a few positive changes for the team. Skipper Rohit Sharma has decided not to take rest as the World Cup is approaching, and he wants to be busy playing and developing. Therefore both the teams will be led by main skipper Rohit Sharma.

The inclusion of youngsters like Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal is a much welcomed move. Both these youngsters have a strong technique and have performed well in the domestic seasons as well as in the IPL. Having these guys , along with Shubham Gill will provide a squad having few young and talented members, and will be a good prospect for the team. In addition to these two, Mukesh Kumar is also introduced to the test side. Also, Navdeep Saini makes is recalled in the test squad.

Ajinkya Rahane who was back into the squad post the domestic circuit and IPL, is back in the squad as the Vice Captain of the team. His performance in the WTC final and his previous captaincy record has been taken into consideration to give him the position of second most important member in the squad. Cheteshwar Pujara on the other hand has been dropped from the side owing to his string of lower performances. It's arguable looking at what he can do.

In the squad for ODIs, Ruturaj and Sanju Samson make their way back to the team. Mukesh Kumar gets a well deserved chance in the squad. And Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav make it back to the senior team. All in all, both the squads look good, and hopefully will have a good tour starting from 12th July.
