India Squad Set to Tour West Indies
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is likely to announce their squad for the West Indies tour on June 27. It is expected that some of the senior players, such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Mohammed Shami, and Siraj, will not be part of the team. While Sharma and Kohli are expected to play in the two Test matches, they are unlikely to be included in the ODI and T20I squads. Additionally, Siraj and Shami will not be playing throughout the duration of the Caribbean tour due to workload management.
