West Indies vs India: BCCI Reveals Squad For The Test Series 


India will look to strengthen their position at the top of the ICC Test Ranking when they go up against West Indies in the two-match Test series. The Test series which starts from August 22 will be a part of the upcoming World Test Championship.

India announce a strong squad

The last Virat Kohli & Co played a Test series was against India earlier this year. They defeated the Aussies 2-1 at their home ground for the first time to script history. The bowlers did a fantastic work well backed by the batsmen led by Virat Kohli to outplay the Australians who were without David Warner and Steven Smith due to suspensions for the ball-tampering scandals. Despite, the Asian giants played some of the best crickets in the last few years to win the Border-Gavaskar trophy.


India will look to make a strong start to the Test Championship which will run for two years before the finals in England in 2021. Wriddhiman Saha has made a comeback to the Test squad after recovering from injury while Prithvi Shaw is still out with injury. Otherwise, the squad remains the same with Mayank Agarwal likely to open with KL Rahul.
The Test series will commence after the end of the limited-overs series. Antigua will host the first Test, which will run from August 22 to 26 while Jamaica will host the final and the second match. It will start from August 30 to September 3 to mark the end of the tour.

Here is the India squad for the Test series against West Indies:

Virat Kohli (Captain), Ajinkya Rahane (VC), Mayank Agarwal, KL Rahul, C Pujara, Hanuma Vihari, Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant (WK) Wriddhiman Saha (WK), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Umesh Yadav

Four Players Who Can Replace MS Dhoni Post Retirement  We have oodles of talent in India but there will never be another MS Dhoni, not ever in the history of Indian cricket. The calmness with which he took the field will never be seen again. The aura and stature of MS Dhoni are all but impossible to match. He is one of the shrewdest cricketing brains to have ever embraced this beautiful game. Meanwhile, there is speculation that MS Dhoni might retire any time soon. In fact, there is no doubt that it is going to leave a big void in the Indian team. However, the promise of Indian cricket looks promising as the young guns are coming through to the top level. We take a look at four players who can replace MS Dhoni post his retirement. 1. Ishan Kishan The talented southpaw had led India Under-19 side to the final of the World Cup in 2016. However, the team could not cross the last hurdle against West Indies Under-19 team. The left-hander has shown the promise to de...

MS Dhoni’s Parents Don’t Want Him To Play Anymore, Says His Childhood Coach  Speculations are rife over the future of MS Dhoni. Reports are doing the round that MS Dhoni’s retirement is very much on the cards and the former India skipper can wave goodbye to international cricket anytime soon. MS Dhoni has been under pressure to quit for quite some time now and the pressure has only increased after the World Cup. While the veteran wicketkeeper-batsman has not been low on runs but it is his strike-rate that is causing all the problems for him. Regarded as one of the greatest finishers of all time, MS Dhoni has looked like a pale shadow of his usual self. The World Cup-winning skipper has not really managed to bat like he used to do. In the World Cup, he struggled against the likes of Afghanistan and England. Those two knocks had made many question the intent of MS Dhoni. In the semifinal against New Zealand, he did score a fighting 50 but once again used up too many...

Virat Kohli led team India underperformed in the big match. Now there are reports that there is a rift in team India. Rift In Team India Dainik Jagran has claimed that everything is not well in the Indian team. Captain Virat Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri have taken some of the biased decision which has left the team divided. Team India has divided into two groups, one group is with Virat Kohli’s side while the other supports Rohit Sharma. According to the reports, there is a strong bias in player selection.
