India’s West Indies tour squad has been officially announced by the BCCI. Team Selector has taken a very concrete step this time. Test cricket specialist Cheteshwar Pujara has been dropped from the squad in the two-match Test series. Now how much this decision will benefit the team, it will be known only after the match.
Finally good news has come for Sanju Samson, who was in headlines for the last few years. He has been selected in India’s ODI squad, now it will be interesting to see whether he gets a part of the playing XI or not. The ODI squad will be captained by Rohit Sharma while Hardik Pandya will be the vice-captain.
It seemed to all the fans that the Indian team management would give one last chance to Bhuvneshwar Kumar. But this is sad news for his fans. BCCI has included young players Imran Malik and Mukesh Kumar in the team.
