Following their defeats in the Test and ODI series, the Windies are ready to lock horns with the Men in Blue in a five-match T20I series. The West Indies vs India match will take place at Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad, scheduled for 3rd of August. This series serves as a valuable practice session for team India before the 2023 World Cup.
In their quest for T20I success, the West Indies have added Shimron Hetmyer, and Oshane Thomas to their squad. Hetmyer made his mark in the inaugural Major League Cricket (MLC) tournament in the USA, showcasing his skills while representing the Seattle Orcas following a successful IPL stint with the Rajasthan Royals.
Speaking for the Indian squad, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Tilak Varma have earned their inaugural call-ups to the Indian T20I team. Notably, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will continue to remain absent from the T20I squad, resting before the upcoming Asia Cup.
