While Sai Sudharsan, who made his test debut during India’s last test series in England, has retained his place in the side, Devdutt Padikkal, who has played two tests so far, has made a comeback.

On the other hand, the West Indies will be led by Roston Chase in the series. The Carribean side will be short of two key pacers in Shamar Joseph and Alzarri Joseph, both of whom got ruled out of the series due to injuries. Johann Layne and Jediah Blades have replaced them in the squad.
