Team India announced their squads for the Tests and ODIs in the upcoming tour of the West Indies, with senior batter Cheteshwar Pujara getting the axe after a poor outing in the ICC World Test Championship final.
The BCCI selection committee instead opted to draft Yashasvi Jaiswal into the Test squad. While Pujara got dropped from the squad, senior batter Ajinkya Rahane retained his place following his gritty 89 in the WTC final against Australia.
The selectors also included uncapped seamer Mukesh Kumar, who plays for Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL), in both the Test and ODI squads.
