The West Indies tour of India is all set to commence with the ODI leg on February 6. The tour comprises three ODIs, which will be followed by a three-match T20I series. The series will be the first assignment of Rohit Sharma as a full-time India limited-overs skipper.
He was set to lead India in South Africa as well but had to sit out of the series owing to an injury. Both teams have announced their squads as well. India have rested the likes of Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah from the series to manage their workload.
Meanwhile, West Indies have named a full-strength squad, with all their big guns available. The Men in Maroon come into the series after an emphatic 3-2 T20I series win over England. India, on the other hand, lost to South Africa 3-0 in the ODI series.
