India’s Playing 11 for West Indies Test Series: The Indian team, which has made it to the final of the Asia Cup 2025, is to face Pakistan in the title match on 28 September. The pressure on India will be enough, because losing here will destroy all its hard work. Team India had easily defeated Pakistan in group stage and Super 4, but now by taking full force in this match, the rhythm of victory will have to be maintained, so that Pakistan cannot do anything upset in the final.
After this tournament, Team India’s next challenge is West Indies. The West Indies team is to visit India and play 2 Test matches here. These matches will be played under the World Test Championship. The series will start from October 2 and the first match will be held at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. While the second match is to be played at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi from 10 October.
India’s squad has been declared first for this series, in which 15 players have been selected. Some are also shown the way out, which were part of the squad on the England tour. In such a situation, the Indian team is ready to play the domestic Test series for the first time under the captaincy of Shubman Gill.
Who is involved in India’s Test Squad for West Indies Series
The BCCI announced a 15 -member squad for the two -match Test series against the West Indies on 25 September. Karun Nair, Akashdeep, Arshdeep Singh and Abhimanyu Iswaran, who appeared in the team on the tour of England, have been shown the way out.

Reddy was out of the middle of the tour of England due to injury, while Padikkal has again become part of the Test team after Australia Tour. Whereas Akshar has got a chance to return on the basis of domestic conditions. He is accompanied by Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja in the spin department.
