India vs West Indies: Bhuvneshwar, Bumrah called up for last three ODIs

NEW DELHI: Pace bowlers Bhunvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah were called up for the last three ODIs against West Indies, as the BCCI selection committee excluded Mohammed Shami from the list of 15 announnced on Thursday.

India lead the two matches series 1-0, after the second match in Vizag on Wednesday ended in a tie. The hosts had won the first match in Guwahati.

Shami, who made a comeback to the ODI side after a long gap even, failed to retain his place after managing just three wickets at the cost of 140 runs in the first two ODIs. It is possible that Shami has been rested as part of the team's rotational policy.

Umesh Yadav, however, managed to retain his place in the squad after giving away 64 and 78 runs in the first two ODIs.

The selectors didn't pick Kedar Jadhav, who made a comeback in the ongoing Deodhar Trophy scoring 41 off 25 balls and bowling a few overs of off-breaks.

It is expected that Jadhav will have to play a few more games before being selected for the limited overs.

There was speculation about Prithvi Shaw's selection in the ODI squad but the young batting sensation has sustained a hand injury during the Deodhar Trophy and didn't take part in India A's match against India C on Thursday.


The remaining three matches will be played in Pune, Mumbai (Brabourne Stadium) and Thiruvananthapuram on October 27, 29 and November 1.


It is learnt that the selection committee will name the squad for the six T20s against West Indies and Australia (three home and three away) in Pune on Friday.


India Squad: Virat Kohli (Captain), Rohit Sharma (vice-captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Ambati Rayudu, Rishabh Pant, MS Dhoni (wicket-keeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Khaleel Ahmed, Umesh Yadav, KL Rahul, Manish Pandey
