West Indies and India will clash in the Test series opener from October 2 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, and the second red-ball game will commence on October 10 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
West Indies' first home series in the WTC 2025-27 cycle came against Australia, and they were absolutely annihilated across all three matches and faced a whitewash.
Overall, the Cricket West Indies selection committee has made three changes from the squad that locked horns with the Aussies. The players who have been dropped are Kraigg Brathwaite, Keacy Carty, Mikyle Louis, and Johann Layne.
Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Brandon King, and Jayden Seales are other major names in the squad, but one player that will be missing the series is Gudakesh Motie, who has been given rest to keep him fresh for upcoming limited-overs action.
Playing in the subcontinent always presents a challenge - Daren Sammy
In an official statement released by CWI, head coach Daren Sammy said that playing in India would be challenging for them, but they are ready for it. He elaborated:
“The return of Tagenarine Chanderpaul is to help transform our fortunes at the top of the order given the recent struggles, with Alick Athanaze being added for his strengths and qualities against spin bowling. Khary is included for the first time as our second spinner in what we expect to be helpful conditions”
“Our approach to squad selection continues to be calculated and deliberate. We consider the opposition, the playing conditions, and the skill sets required to be successful against specific opposition. The inclusion of players has therefore been guided not only by their recent performances, but also by identifying who within our pool is best suited to deliver positive results on these surfaces, against this quality of opposition."
