Chief selector Ajit Agarkar named India’s 15-member squad for the two-Test series against West Indies. Ravindra Jadeja is the new vice-captain in Rishabh Pant’s absence, while veteran batter Karun Nair was dropped due to recent poor performances.
The BCCI senior men’s team chief selector, Ajit Agarkar, announced the 15-member squad for the upcoming Test series against West Indies on Thursday, September 25. Team India will play two Tests against the visiting West Indies team at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad and the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi from October 2 to 6, and 10 to 14, respectively.
The India Test squad was announced ahead of the Men in Blue’s Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 clash against Sri Lanka at the Dubai International Stadium on Wednesday, September 24. The two-match Test series against West Indies will take place just four days after the Asia Cup 2025 Final in Dubai.
One of the biggest news from India’s squad announcement is the appointment of Ravindra Jadeja as the vice-captain in the upcoming Test series against the West Indies. Jadeja was named as Shubman Gill’s deputy after Rishabh Pant was unavailable for the West Indies Tests due to a fractured foot sustained during the Old Trafford Test against England in Manchester.
Meanwhile, veteran Indian batter Karun Nair has been dropped from the India Test squad for the series against West Indies after his moderate performance in the England Test series.
