India is all set to kickstart their Caribbean tour with the T20 series starting August 3 at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, Florida.
Opener Shikhar Dhawan Sunday returned to India's limited-overs squad after recovering from a thumb injury while Rishabh Pant was picked in all three formats for the West Indies tour as the selectors braced up for life beyond Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Former India captain Dhoni, who is at the business end of his illustrious career, has made himself "unavailable" for the West Indies tour but ruled out immediate retirement.
Speculations over Captain Virat Kohli being rested for the tour were put to rest as the batting mainstay will lead India across formats.
Rookie leg-spinner Rahul Chahar emerged as the lone new face across three formats for the upcoming overseas assignments, while all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been rested for the tour. Also coming back into the ODI squad are Shreyas Iyer and Manish Pandey.
Promising batsman Shubman Gill, though, missed out on selection.
Here is the complete schedule of India tour of West Indies.
