The Indian team will return to action after almost a month’s gap since the World Test Championship Final took place in London. The team is well rested and reached the Caribbean quite early in order to get accustomed to the conditions. The Indian team consists of a squad with young talent which features the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Mukesh Kumar. After a heartbreaking loss in England, India will be desperate to correct their mistakes and start the new WTC cycle on a high.
This will be the first assignment for the Windies after their agonizing defeat in the ICC CWC Qualifier which took place in Zimbabwe. With Kraigg Brathwaite leading them, the side features Kirk McKenzie and Alick Athanaze who got their maiden call-ups. Rahkeem Cornwall and Jomel Warrican have also marked their return to the squad.
