List of players who have returned to Indian side for IND vs WI ODIs

The India vs West Indies ODIs will begin from September 27.

India are set for another important home assignment as the West Indies are scheduled to tour the country for a white-ball series. The IND vs WI series will feature three ODIs and five T20Is, with the ODI series starting on September 27 in Thiruvananthapuram.

The upcoming IND vs WI ODI series will also be an important part of India’s preparation for the 2027 ODI World Cup. With the team looking to build the perfect squad for the tournament, the selectors have included a mix of experienced players and some fresh faces.

India will be playing this series with a few absences as several players are involved in the Asian Games. Shreyas Iyer, Jasprit Bumrah and other regular white-ball players will not be part of the ODI squad.

Therefore, this has opened the door for some players to return to the team and showcase their skills against a quality side.

Here is a list of players who have returned to India’s ODI squad for the West Indies series.
