Rohit, Kohli in India's ODI squad for West Indies series
NEW DELHI: Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were named in India’s ODI squad on Wednesday for the West Indies series starting this month, as the team continue to prepare for next year’s World Cup.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been included in India's One Day International (ODI) squad for the upcoming West Indies series. Both players are 39 and 37 years old, respectively, and have only played international cricket in the 50-over format since retiring from Test and T20I cricket. Shubman Gill will captain the 15-man squad for the three-match series, which begins on September 27 in Thiruvananthapuram.
Despite Rohit's recent strong performance against England, there remains speculation over his inclusion in the squad. Ravindra Jadeja, an all-rounder, returns to the squad after last playing an ODI in January. Two other players, Auqib Nabi and Naman Dhir, could make their international debuts with maiden call-ups. Additionally, India will face the West Indies in five T20 internationals, starting on October 6 in Lucknow.
Changes have also been made to India's Asian Games squad, with spinner Varun Chakravarthy ruled out due to a side strain injury. Nitish Kumar Reddy, who was initially included in the Asian Games squad, will instead take part in the ODI series against the West Indies.
