After a strong performance in the Test series on England tour, now the Indian team is going to return to their home soon.

In the new cycle of the World Test Championship, Team India will play their first home series next month, in which it will face the West Indies. The series will start from October 2 and the selection of Team India for this will be on 24 September. In this series starting just 3 days after the Asia Cup 2025, which players will get a chance, there is a lot of curiosity about it and this curiosity will end on Wednesday.

Team selection in online meeting

The BCCI's Senior Men's Selection Committee headed by Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar will select the team for the series of 2 Test matches at the online meeting on Wednesday.

It is believed that in view of the home series, only the squad of 15 members will be selected. However, the squad will be announced simultaneously for both Tests or at the moment, the players will be elected only for the first Test, it is not clear. The first Test match of this series will be played in Ahmedabad from October 2 and the second match will be played in New Delhi from October 10.

Iyer took a brake, ready to play Bumrah

However, before this selection, a big question was answered. There was a continuous speculation that with this series, the middle order star batsman Shreyas Iyer would return to the Test team, but the shocking revelation was revealed a day before the selection.

It was told in a report that Iyer has taken a break from red ball cricket at the moment and has told BCCI along with the selection committee. In such a situation, the debate on Iyer's selection has already ended.

Apart from this, there has been a very interesting claim about star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. In the Asia Cup 2025, Bumrah is ready to play in this Test series and he has told BCCI about his wish. This decision of Bumrah is special because if Team India plays the final of the Asia Cup, then the players will get only 3 days break for the Test series.

The final is on 28 September and the first Test match on 2 October. Till a few weeks ago, the decision of Star Pesar has put a new angle in the selection amidst the debate over Bumrah's workload management.

These players also monitor

Apart from these, the eyes will also be on whether Karun Nair will be able to save his place or not? After nearly 8 years long wait, Nair had returned to India but he could not take advantage of the occasions in the Test series on England tour and could only score only 205 runs at an average of 25.

In such a situation, it seems difficult to choose in the team. At the same time, the young batsman Devdutt Padikkal, who performed strongly against the Dalip Trophy and Australia A, seems to be returning again. Apart from these, spin-all-rounder Akshar Patel can also return.
