India Squad Unchanged for West Indies Tri-Series
India have named an unchanged squad from the one playing in the
Champions Trophy for the ODI tri-series in the West Indies, which begins
on June 28. The continuity is reflective of the team's success in the
ongoing tournament, where they have reached the semi-finals after
winning all their group matches.
The squad includes five seam bowlers in Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma,
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Irfan Pathan and Vinay Kumar, and three spinners: R
Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Amit Mishra. MS Dhoni, Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit
Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Dinesh Karthik and M Vijay
constitute the batting.
India will travel to the West Indies following the Champions Trophy, for the series that also includes the hosts and Sri Lanka.
The make-up of the squad indicates that the Indian selectors, in
relation to the one-day team, have turned their focus firmly on World
Cup 2015. India had fielded a new-look team for the Champions Trophy, dropping seniors
like Gautam Gambhir and Yuvraj Singh. These players as well as others -
including Zaheer Khan, Virender Sehwag and Harbhajan Singh - who had
been central to India's success over the previous decade but have had
form and injury issues of late, remain sidelined.
