Predicted India ODI squad: Shubman Gill (c), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rajat Patidar, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Gurnoor Brar
Predicted India T20I squad: Shreyas Iyer (c), Abhishek Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Gurnoor Brar
For West Indies, Shai Hope, Brandon King, Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford, Keacy Carty, Jason Holder, Roston Chase, Romario Shepherd, Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph and Shamar Joseph are among the players expected to form the core of the squad. The final West Indies selections are also awaited.
The series therefore provides India with an opportunity to test combinations across formats, while West Indies will look to challenge the hosts in conditions traditionally suited to India's white-ball game.
