IND VS WI – After thrashing the West Indies by 1-0 in the Test series, India move on to the next chapter of this multi-format tour: the 3-match ODI series, starting July 27. The first two ODIs will be played in Barbados and the third game in Trinidad.
Rohit Sharma‘s Team India will once again start this series as favorites. Given these ODI games against West Indies are crucial for preparation for the Asia Cup and in the larger picture the World Cup, the selectors have sent a strong squad – with the absence of the rested Mohammed Shami – among the players who were fit and available.
Even though the West Indies are down on the mat, having failed to qualify for the World Cup 2023 after a debacle in the World Cup Qualifiers with losses to the likes of Zimbabwe, Scotland, and the Netherlands, Shai Hope’s team could pose a decent challenge in their home conditions.
