The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced its squad for the upcoming white-ball series against the West Indies at home, starting on September 27.

Shubman Gill-led side will begin its preparations as India builds the squad towards the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027.

With Jasprit Bumrah having been rested, Auqib Nabi has earned his maiden ODI call-up after being part of the Test squad for India’s tour of Sri Lanka in August. However, he did not make his debut during the Test series.

Meanwhile, Batter Naman Dhir has also earned his maiden call-up to the Indian squad. Ruturaj Gaikwad will be returning to the Indian set-up after featuring in an ODI series during the home series against South Africa last year.

Ravindra Jadeja will also be returning to the ODI squad after having featured in the ODI series against New Zealand in January.
