India announces its squad for a forthcoming home series against the West Indies, scheduling three ODIs and five T20Is starting September 27 in Thiruvananthapuram. The selection includes two debutants, who are named to the playing group for the tour.
Several established players are left out of the squad as part of the changes. Reports note that Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant are not included for the series, while the two debutants get opportunities instead. The match schedule and the location are consistent across coverage, but the focus differs between outlets on the implications of the omissions and the significance of new call-ups.
